I modified this recipe to be less oily. It is almost as good as take-out Chinese green beans. It tastes wonderful with ham and a baked yam.

Tips:

To make sure your green beans are crisp and flavorful, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before stir-frying.
If you don't have Chinese mustard greens, you can use regular mustard greens, kale, or collard greens instead.
Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet over high heat to get the best flavor and texture from your stir-fry.
Add the garlic and ginger first, and then add the green beans and mustard greens. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and the mustard greens are wilted.
Add the Chinese sausage, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and the flavors are well combined.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
