Stir-fried pickled green beans with minced meat

The crispness of pickled green beans meets the savory richness of minced meat, garnished with red and green chilies. The fresh, spicy, sour, and fragrant aroma fills the air as soon as it's stir-fried in the pan. The first bite is the crisp, sour taste of the pickled green beans, followed by the salty and oily aroma of the minced meat, along with the rich flavor of fermented bean paste and the fresh spiciness of the chilies. Every bite explodes in your mouth, making it an absolute "rice killer," easily making you want to eat two or three bowls. It's a national favorite for eating with rice! This is a classic Hunan and Sichuan home-style dish, commonly found on tables in Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangxi, and other regions.
