Suggest a better descriptionIn a small pot, combine rice, 11/4 cups water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir once, reduce heat to medium low, cover pot, and simmer until water is fully absorbed, 10–12 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let stand, still covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork, then cover again to keep warm until ready to serve.
While rice cooks, pat pork chops dry with paper towel and season all over with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper as desired. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add pork and sear until browned and cooked through, 3–5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside to rest for about 5 minutes, reserving pan for Step 4. While pork cooks, rinse green beans, trim and discard ends (see recipe tip), then halve crosswise. Rinse scallions, trim and discard roots, and thinly slice, keeping whites and light greens separate from dark greens. Trim and discard skin of ginger (see recipe tip) and thinly slice. Mince garlic. In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, sambal (it's spicy- feel free to use less for a milder flavor), spice mix, rice wine vinegar, and ketchup.
Return pan from pork to medium-high heat with remaining sesame oil. When oil is shimmering, add green beans. Cook until blistered and slightly tender, 4–5 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, and scallion whites and light greens to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly browned and fragrant, 2–3 minutes more.
Reduce heat under pan with green beans to medium, then add soy sauce–sambal mixture. Cover pan and cook until green beans are tender, 2–3 minutes. Meanwhile, transfer pork to a cutting board; find the direction of the grain (muscle fibers) and slice across it, rather than parallel, as thinly as possible—this ensures tenderness. Once green beans are tender, add sliced pork to pan and turn to fully coat. Remove pan from heat.
Divide rice between serving plates. Top with Szechuan-style pork and green beans, drizzle over spicy garlic sauce, and garnish with scallion dark greens. Enjoy!
