Apricot jam adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the spicy, salty and umami flavors without turning the sauce into a sugar bomb. Serve with cooked rice to round out the meal.

  • Toss pork with cornstarch in a medium bowl until no cornstarch remains at the bottom of the bowl.

  • Heat grapeseed (or avocado) oil in a large flat-bottom wok or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in green beans and continue to cook, stirring often, until the beans are tender-crisp, 3 to 6 minutes. Add the jam mixture and cook, stirring often, until well coated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from heat and add scallions and sesame seeds. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with more scallions, if desired.

Get Spicy

Chile-garlic sauce isn't just for stir-fries. Use the coarsely ground blend of red hot peppers, garlic and vinegar just as you would any hot sauce—drizzle over your morning eggs, swirl into a bowl of noodles or stir into a marinade.
