Stir-Fried Garlic Green Beans image

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.

SAUTEED GREEN BEANS WITH SOY, SHALLOTS, GINGER, GARLIC AND CHILE



Sauteed Green Beans with Soy, Shallots, Ginger, Garlic and Chile image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 scallions, for garnish
1 pound green beans
2 tablespoons peanut or sesame oil
1 small shallot, finely chopped
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/2 medium red chile, like jalapeno, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare the scallion garnish: Finely slice the scallions on an angle and drop them into a large bowl with ice and water - this will make the scallion threads curl up nicely so they look like ribbons. Set aside.
  • Wash green beans under cold running water. Cut off the root ends and discard. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the beans and blanch until bright green, about 2 minutes. Shock in ice water then drain in a colander.
  • Heat a large wok over high heat. Add the peanut oil, then add the shallots, garlic, ginger and chile. Stir the mixture around so it fries in the oil and gets fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the green beans and toss a couple of times to coat everything evenly. Saute for a couple of minutes so the beans get a little caramelization. Add the soy sauce and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes; the beans should still be nice and crisp. Transfer to a large platter and garnish with drained scallion curls.

Garlic String/Green Beans (Fit for Life) image

My family has been using this recipe since the 80's. These are great with steak or chicken. Also great if you are on a low calorie diet.

Provided by Peytons Mom

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
4 cups fresh string beans or 4 cups frozen string beans
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
fresh ground pepper (about a tsp)
2 cups water
1 vegetable bouillon cube
1 dash fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In large heavy saucepan, heat oil.
  • Add garlic and beans, and saute over high heat to sear beans, stirring frequently so they do not burn.
  • Add thyme, sea salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Add water and bouillon.
  • Bring to boil, cover tightly, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until beans are tender when pierced with tip of sharp knife.
  • Add more water, if necessary.
  • Frozen beans will take only half the time.
  • Add squeeze of lemon juice and toss well.
  • Original recipe states it serves 2 but it easily will serve four as a side dish.

Tips:

  • Prep your beans: Trim the ends of the string beans and remove any tough strings. You can also cut them into smaller pieces if desired.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic: Freshly grated ginger and garlic will give your dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh ginger or garlic on hand, you can use ground ginger and garlic powder, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying the beans, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the beans until they are tender-crisp: The beans should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Season to taste: Once the beans are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and soy sauce to taste.

Conclusion:

This stir-fried string beans with ginger and garlic is a quick and easy dish that is packed with flavor. It is a great side dish for any Asian-inspired meal. The beans are tender-crisp and the ginger and garlic add a delicious savory flavor. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for any meal.
