Steps:
- Wash beans; trim ends, and remove strings. Slice beans in half lengthwise, and set aside.
- Combine soy sauce and next 5 ingredients, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
- Cook ginger and garlic in hot peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add beans and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir soy sauce mixture, and add to beans; cook stirring constantly, 1 minute or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with a few drops of sesame oil. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen or canned beans.
- Trim the green beans properly: Trim the ends of the green beans, but leave the strings intact. This will help the beans to stay crisp during cooking.
- Blanch the green beans before stir-frying: Blanching the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes will help to preserve their color and crispness.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to sear the green beans and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Add the sauce to the green beans at the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve the green beans immediately: Green beans are best served immediately after they are cooked.
Conclusion:
Spicy Chinese green beans are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
