Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound green beans, trimmed
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon soy sauce, low-sodium if desired
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon peanut oil or canola oil

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: For the best stir-fry, choose fresh, tender green beans. Avoid beans that are limp or have blemishes.
  • Prep the beans properly: Trim the ends of the beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Blanch the beans in boiling water for a few minutes, then drain and rinse them in cold water. This will help to preserve their color and crunch.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet is essential for a good stir-fry. The high heat will help to sear the beans and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Stir-fry in small batches: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet. Stir-fry the beans in small batches so that they cook evenly.
  • Add sauce or seasoning: Once the beans are cooked, add your desired sauce or seasoning. This could be a simple soy sauce and garlic sauce, or a more complex sauce with multiple ingredients.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried green beans are best served immediately. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a side dish with other dishes.

Conclusion:

Fresh green bean stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and healthy dish that the whole family will enjoy.
