  • Trim the green beans before cooking. Remove the tough ends of the beans by snapping them off or cutting them off with a knife.
  • Blanch the green beans before stir-frying. This will help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet for stir-frying. This will help the beans cook quickly and evenly.
  • Stir-fry the beans in small batches. This will prevent them from becoming crowded and soggy.
  • Add the walnuts at the end of cooking. This will help them retain their crunch.
