Ingredients
- 1 lb green beans
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- ⅓ cup neutral oil
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili bean sauce
Instructions
- Wash and prep green beans. Chop the green beans to around 2.5 inches in length. Pat green beans dry.
- Heat up wok on high heat. Once hot, add neutral oil and then green beans. Turn heat down to medium-high heat.
- Keep close watch on the green beans. Every 45 seconds, give the green beans a stir so that each side is crisping up evenly but not burning. Stir-frying green beans will take around 7 minutes.
- Remove cooked green beans from wok. There should be leftover oil in the wok, however, if there isn't, add around another 1 tablespoon in additional to the ⅓ cup used to stir-fry the green beans.
- Add minced garlic and let fry to a golden color. Since the garlic is minced, this should take less than 30 seconds. Add green beans back to the wok.
- Add Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and chili bean sauce. Give green beans a stir to evenly mix the sauce.
- Serve with rice!
