Best 7 Chinese Restaurant Style SautÉed Green Beans Recipes

CHINESE GARLIC GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Snap off the tough ends of the green beans. If your green beans are very long, snap them in half.
• Heat the oil in a wok over medium-high heat. To check to see if the oil is hot enough, stick bamboo chopsticks into the wok so that the tips of the chopsticks are touching the bottom. You want to see tiny bubbles rapidly forming around the chopsticks. Alternatively, you can throw a green bean into the wok. If bubbles start to form around the bean immediately, the oil is ready for frying.
• Working in batches, fry the green beans for about 2 minutes, until the green beans start to wrinkle on the outside. You don't need to cook the green beans for too long. Use a spider strainer to strain the oil from the beans and then transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat until all the beans are fried. Turn off the heat. If you want the beans to be less greasy, blot them with paper towels.
• Carefully pour the used frying oil into a bowl. If you do not want to handle hot oil, let the oil cool completely in the wok. Don't bother wiping the wok at this point because you'll be using it to fry the garlic next, and you can use the residual oil in the wok for that.
• Heat the wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook it for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the green beans back to the wok, along with the salt. Stir to combine. Cook for another minute. Turn off the heat and transfer the green beans to a serving plate. Garnish the beans with red pepper flakes and toasted sesame seeds, if you like.
• Serve the green beans with my egg fried rice, chicken chow mein, or pork potstickers!

DIN TAI FUNG SAUTEED GREEN BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• First things first. Take a nice big pan, probably the biggest you have, fill it with water (enough to cover the veggies completely when you put them in without the water overflowing), and bring it to the boil.
• While the water is coming to a boil, you can get on with the bean trimming.
• When the water reaches boiling point, carefully drop the green beans in and boil them for 2 ½ minutes. Use a timer to ensure you get the timing right. You don't want to overcook them. This time is right for about 2 pounds of beans. If you're blanching less, reduce the time a little.
• When the timer bell rings, spear a bean and test it; if you bite into it, you say, "Yeah, okay, but it needs a few more minutes," for this dish, they're done.
• Remove the pan from the stovetop and bring the cooking process to an immediate halt; you then pour the pan's contents into a colander you prefilled with ice. To make sure the beans cool thoroughly, add some more ice over the top, and rinse under the cold water tap.
• Once the batch is cold all the way through, pour it onto some folded paper kitchen towel, then pat dry with more paper towels until dried to your satisfaction.
• Heat a deep pan or wok over medium heat and add 1 tbsp oil and 2 tbsp unsalted butter.
• Add the chili flakes (if you want extra spice), but this is optional. Add 1 tsp garlic powder. Stir and mix well.
• Now, you can drop the blanched green beans. Give them a quick stir / sautee fry. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
• Continue to stir and toss for about 1 or 2 minutes or until done according to your preferred texture. Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
• Garnish with fried garlic and drizzle with sesame oil (optional).

SAUTEED GREEN BEANS WITH GARLIC AND PEPPER

Steps:

• Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the green beans, then season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
• Add the stock, then bring to a simmer and cover the skillet. Cook until the green beans are bright green and just slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Uncover the skillet and cook until the liquid evaporates and the green beans are tender, 10 minutes more. Stir in the lemon juice and remaining tablespoon butter and season with additional salt and pepper.

STIR-FRIED GARLIC GREEN BEANS

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.
