Place a wok over high heat. First add the sour beans and stir-fry until the moisture evaporates, then remove. Add lard to the wok and heat, pour in the minced pork, add a little salt, and stir-fry briefly. Add the sour beans back in and stir-fry together, then add the minced garlic, dried chili flakes, and soy sauce, mixing well. Pour in 50 g of water and simmer until cooked through. Reduce until the liquid has nearly evaporated, sprinkle in MSG, and serve.
