Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans, and any tough strings that run along the sides.
  • Blanch the green beans: This step helps to preserve the color and crispness of the beans. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the green beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the black bean sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the black beans, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water. Blend until smooth.
  • Stir-fry the green beans: Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the green beans and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
  • Add the black bean sauce: Pour the black bean sauce over the green beans and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through.
  • Garnish and serve: Transfer the green beans in black bean sauce to a serving dish and garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions. Serve immediately.
