Chinese Style Green Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Wash beans, trim ends and remove strings.
• Arrange beans in a vegetable steamer (or a colander that will sit nicely in saucepan), and place over boiling water.
• Cover and steam 5 minutes.
• Drain and plunge into cold water, drain again.
• Coat a large nonstick skillet (or wok) with cooking spray or peanut oil and heat until hot.
• Add gingerroot and garlic and saute 30 secs.
• Add beans, saute 5 minutes.
• Combine 2 tablespoons water and remaining 5 ingredients.
• Stir well.
• Add to beans, cook 30 seconds or until thoroughly heated, stirring constantly.

Steps:

• Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the edges begin to brown, about 20 seconds. Add the green beans; cook and stir until the green beans begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar, oyster sauce, and soy sauce. Continue cooking and stirring for several minutes until the beans have attained the desired degree of tenderness.

Steps:

• 1. Just blanch green beans in boiling water. Drain and set aside.
• 2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until just starting to soften and become aromatic.
• 3. Add the green beans and stir-fry until they begin to soften. Stir sugar and soy sauce. Continue to cook for five more minutes.
