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.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and fill a large bowl with ice water. Working in two batches, boil beans until just tender but still crisp and bright green. Start testing after 4 minutes or so, being careful not to overcook. When done, plunge beans into ice water to stop cooking, lift out immediately when cool and drain on towels. (Recipe can be made to this point up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated, wrapped in towels.)
- When ready to cook, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide skillet over high heat. Add half the beans, half the ginger and half the garlic, and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until beans are heated through and ginger and garlic are softened and aromatic. Sprinkle with salt, and remove to a serving dish. Repeat with remaining oil, beans, ginger and garlic. Serve.

GREEN BEANS WITH MUSTARD SEEDS, CASHEWS AND COCONUT
This fragrant, deeply flavored green bean dish works as an intense side dish for a simple meal or as a meatless main course in its own right. Take care when adding the mustard seeds to the skillet - they can pop and jump out of the pan as they heat, so stand back. If you can't find large flakes of dried coconut (also sometimes called chips), you can substitute shredded coconut, as long as it's unsweetened. But ground coconut will be too fine to add the necessary texture.

Tips:
- Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Cut off the ends of the beans and remove any strings. This will help them cook evenly.
- Blanch the green beans (optional): Blanching the beans in boiling water for a few minutes will help them retain their color and nutrients. Simply place the beans in a colander and immerse them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Then, immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will help the beans cook evenly and prevent them from becoming crowded.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help the beans sear and get a nice caramelized flavor.
- Add the ginger and garlic: Cook them for a minute or two, until they are fragrant.
- Add the green beans: Stir-fry them for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Add the cashews: Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cashews are golden brown.
- Season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce: Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
- Serve immediately: Green beans are best served hot and fresh.
