The green beans should remain crunchy in this dish, which is adapted from Grace Young's recipe in "Stir-Fry to the Sky's Edge."

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

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.

These green beans were the side dish my grandmother served most often because we all love them. They are done but not mushy like canned beans.

Provided by Shearyah Hawkins

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Green Beans

Time 30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
garlic powder to taste
onion powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a stainless steel pot over medium-high heat, combine green beans, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cook, covered, until the beans begin to sweat. Remove lid and stir occasionally until beans are tender.
  • When the beans and spices have begun to 'burn' on the bottom of the pan, which will lend a grilled flavor, stir in the olive oil and turn off heat. Cover, and let stand a few minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate the 'burnt' spices. Beans should have a dark, caramel color, but not black.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh green beans. If using frozen green beans, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cut the green beans into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to stir-fry the green beans and pepper. This will help to prevent overcrowding and ensure that the vegetables cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil over high heat before adding the vegetables. This will help to create a sear on the vegetables and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables for a few minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Do not overcook the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
  • Add the sauce and cook for an additional minute or two, or until the sauce has thickened and the vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Serve the stir-fried green beans and pepper immediately with rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried green beans and pepper is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
