green beans with pork

This delicious Thai dish has more garlic in it than anything else I cook. You can of course vary the vegetable component.

500 green beans, cut into short lengths
12 - 16 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 - 9 fresh hot chillies (to your own taste), finely chopped
5 tb oil
275 g lean pork, minced
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tb brown sugar
3 tb fish sauce

Put oil in a wok over medium-high heat, add garlic and chillies and stir-fry until golden. Add pork, stir-fry until no longer raw, add remaining ingredients + 300 ml water. Cook about 8 mins until beans are tender and water largely absorbed.
