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.

Tips and Conclusion

Whether you're a seasoned chef or a home cook looking to try something new, crispy fried green beans are a delightful dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or even a main course. Here are some tips and tricks to help you achieve perfectly crispy fried green beans every time:

  • Choose the right green beans. Look for fresh, tender green beans that are about 4-6 inches long. Avoid beans that are too thick or woody, as they won't fry up as well.
  • Trim the green beans. Trim the ends of the green beans and remove any strings. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Blanch the green beans. Blanching the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps to set their color and crisp them up. It also removes some of the bitterness from the beans.
  • Dry the green beans thoroughly. After blanching, pat the green beans dry with a paper towel. This will help them to crisp up in the oil.
  • Use a good quality oil. Use a high-heat oil, such as vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying the green beans. This will help them to get crispy without burning.
  • Fry the green beans in batches. Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the green beans. This will cause them to steam and become soggy. Fry them in batches so that they have plenty of room to crisp up.
  • Season the green beans. Once the green beans are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Crispy fried green beans are a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Serve them as an appetizer with a dipping sauce or as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or steak. You can also add them to salads, soups, and stir-fries. With their crispy texture and delicious flavor, crispy fried green beans are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
