INSTRUCTIONS
*Roast pork may be substituted; if so, omit the five spice powder In a small bowl, combine the five-spice powder, soy sauce, vinegar and chili paste. Stir well to dissolve the powder. Set aside. In a wok or deep frying pan with a lid, heat the oil until nearly smoking. Add the green onions and toss over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the garlic and tomato and toss for 30 seconds. Add the reserved seasoning mixture and the beans. Toss and stir for 1 minute. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer; cover the wok and cook 20 minutes, or until beans are cooked but still firm. Add the lamb and the hoisin. Toss briefly, re-cover the pan and simmer until lamb is heated through, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, make a slurry with the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water. When the lamb is hot, uncover the pan, add the cornstarch slurry and stir until liquid boils and thickens somewhat, about 1 minute. Off the heat, stir in sesame oil and serve at once over steamed or boiled rice.
