A famous comedian once referred to a meal as a “sadness bowl.” Well, we hate to steal another's material, but this meal could easily be called a bowl of joy. Ground pork and green beans are mixed with lo mein noodles and tossed in a sauce built from teriyaki and gochujang. Topped with the unique flavor of cilantro and heat of a Fresno chile, this dish of glee will bring you grins and cheers, no comedy set required. Tip: Line 'em up! The best way to remove the ends of green beans is to line them up evenly, then remove them with one cut.
