Gising-Gising Green Beans with Minced Pork

The literal translation of “gising-gising” means “wake up, wake up” because it’s a spicy savory dish that wakes you up every time you will eat it. There are many versions in terms of the kind of vegetables to use. In my version, I cooked it with Baguio Beans/French Beans.
