Chinese Style String Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil, season with salt and add the green beans. Boil 1 minute, drain and rinse with cold water, then place on a kitchen towel to dry thoroughly. (If vegetables aren't dry when you add them to the hot wok or pan, they will splutter and braise instead of stir-frying.) Place within reach of your wok or pan.
• Combine the soy sauce and wine or sherry in a small bowl or measuring cup and place within reach of your wok or pan. Place the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes in another small container near the burner.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan. Add the garlic and ginger, stir-frying for no more than 10 seconds, and then add the green beans. Toss together, then add the soy sauce and sherry and stir-fry for one to two minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender. Remove from the heat and serve.

Steps:

• In a large pan or wok, heat the oil over high. Fry the string beans until they start blistering. Remove the string beans.
• In the same pan or wok, add the garlic, ginger, and scallions. Fry until fragrant.
• Add the mushrooms and ground pork. Fry until the pork is mostly done. Stir in the the dried red chilies and chili paste.
• Add the string beans back the pan/wok. Toss to combine everything. Add the soy sauce, rice wine, and a dash of white pepper. Serve!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

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.
