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.

Yield Makes 2 servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons oriental sesame oil
1 8-ounce skinless boneless chicken breast, cut crosswise into strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into matchstick-size strips
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 large garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Steps:

  • Cook beans in pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Refresh under cold running water.

Tips:

  • Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans have a crisp texture and vibrant color, making them ideal for stir-frying.
  • Trim the green beans properly: Trim the ends of the green beans before stir-frying to remove any tough or fibrous parts.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps preserve their color and crispness.
  • Use a hot pan: A hot pan is essential for stir-frying. This helps create a sear on the vegetables and prevents them from becoming soggy.
  • Stir constantly: Stir the vegetables constantly while stir-frying to ensure even cooking.
  • Add sauce or seasoning at the end: Add any sauce or seasoning towards the end of the stir-fry to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried green beans are best served immediately after cooking to enjoy their fresh flavor and crisp texture.
