Print Options
Description
Sweet and spicy, these Szechuan-inspired green beans take only 10 minutes to make, and will be gone before you know it!
Ingredients
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Ginger, Minced
- 2 Tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
- 4 teaspoons Rice Vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (this Will Be Spicy – Reduce, If You Prefer Less Spice)
- 1 Tablespoon Sunflower Oil
- 1 pound Green Beans, Cut Into 1-inch Pieces And Rubbed Dry With A Towel
Preparation
Whisk together the first seven ingredients (garlic through crushed red pepper) in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat the sunflower oil in a wok or heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium-high heat. Just when the sunflower oil begins to shimmer, add the green beans and sauté, stirring constantly, until they begin to blacken in small spots, about 3 minutes. (Note: Be careful when adding the green beans to the pan, as they should sizzle and pop a bit if the oil is hot enough. This process should go very quickly, with the green beans retaining a bright green color, even though they will start to blacken a bit in spots.)
Add the sauce to the pan, stirring to coat the green beans. Cook just until the sauce reduces slightly, about 2 minutes.
Serve immediately, on their own, or over rice.

This worked great and can be adjusted for personal tastes. Don’t worry about doing the beans on high, they will taste just like the Chinese restaurant!

Sounds fabulous – do you use fresh or frozen beans in this dish?
