Method

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the miso and mirin elements, and pat the pork dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the pork. Steam over simmering water until just tender and vibrant, then dress while warm.

Stir in the white miso and the rest of the miso and mirin flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the green beans along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
