Is there always a dish that instantly reminds you of your mother's cooking? The aroma of minced meat and green beans wafting from the kitchen when I came home from school as a child is the warmest, most comforting memory. Today, I'll teach you how to recreate this "national favorite dish" in the microwave. It only takes 10 minutes and costs less than 10 yuan. Even kitchen novices can easily conquer the whole family's stomachs! With summer approaching and temperatures soaring, cooking in the kitchen is pure torture. I highly recommend learning a few microwave recipes to keep on hand. No need to turn on the stove or watch the pot; you can enjoy a cool and satisfying meal. Ideally, the minced meat should have a 3:7 fat-to-lean ratio (pork belly/shoulder meat is best). The fat renders oil to nourish the green beans, while the lean meat is tender, chewy, and juicy—perfect for a delicious meal. You can adjust the ratio to your liking. Add minced garlic, cooking wine, and dark soy sauce, mix well, and microwave for 4 minutes to render out the fat. Then add green beans and seasonings, microwave for 7 minutes, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and you're done! It's incredibly fragrant when mixed with rice or noodles—a must-learn for lazy people! A spoonful of minced meat and green beans on top of steaming hot rice, the oily sauce seeping into every grain, even picky eaters will finish it all. I posted it in the family group chat, and my mom immediately praised me for surpassing her! 😎
