SPICY TURKEY AND GREEN BEAN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Stir in the rice, cover and boil until tender, about 18 minutes; drain well and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Toss the green beans, 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil and the sugar on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, stirring once, until the beans are tender and charred, about 8 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 3 minutes. Add the garlic, pickle and chile paste and cook until the garlic is slightly golden, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk the chicken broth, soy sauce, sherry and cornstarch in a bowl. Add the green beans to the skillet with the turkey mixture and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Serve with the rice.

• With half the bacon fat still in the wok/pan, place over medium-high heat. Add the bacon pieces, shallot/onion, and garlic, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons water-just enough to get a good sizzle. Stir-fry until garlic is fragrant (1 minute).
• Add the beans, plus the red pepper (if using) and chili. If needed, also add a little more water to keep the ingredients frying nicely (1 to 2 tablespoons). Stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the stir-fry sauce, stirring well, then cover with a lid and let cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• For this dish, it is best if the beans are chewy rather than soft. Try one-if it's not tender enough, continue stir-frying another 1 to 2 minutes.
• Taste-test the stir-fry for flavor, keeping in mind that this dish should taste primarily salty and spicy (the saltiness is balanced out when served with plain rice). We usually add 1 more tablespoon fish sauce as well as another sprinkling of fresh or dried chili. If it's too salty for your taste, add a squeeze of lime juice.
• Serve with plenty of plain rice and ENJOY the strong flavors of this dish!
