This is a recipe from one of my favourite foodie blogs spoon fork bacon. Love them. And I love beans dont know why but I do. As with all stir fry recipes this is fast to cook so have all your stuff ready to go. You could easily pre prep everything. This recipe also calls for fried pork belly but I have ommitted it here as I like the beans but when I do want a little protein I add a little chicken but if you want you could add some fried tofu another of my favourites..I know but don’t knock it till you tried it. Have these as a side or on its own.
The original recipe is here.
Asian-Style Green Beans
What you will need:
Szechuan sauce:
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons chili sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, optional
500g green beans, cleaned
salt and pepper to taste
How to
1. Place 2 tablespoons of oil into a wok or sauté pan, over high heat.
2. Add ginger and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add soy sauce, chili sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, and hoisin (if using) and sauté for an additional two minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Pour sauce into a small bowl and set aside. Add 3/4 cup oil to wok and fry green beans for 1 to 2 minutes or until blistered and cooked through. Drain onto paper towels and set aside.
Stir fry chicken, pork or fried tofu here otherwise.
4. Add green beans and sauce back to the hot wok and toss together, about 30 seconds.
6. Season with salt and pepper, top with crushed peanuts and serve.
Serve with rice. Yum.
