STIR-FRIED GARLIC GREEN BEANS



Stir-Fried Garlic Green Beans image

The green beans should remain crunchy in this dish, which is adapted from Grace Young's recipe in "Stir-Fry to the Sky's Edge."

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

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.

STIR-FRIED BEEF AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS



Stir-Fried Beef and Sugar Snap Peas image

Here's a stir-fry far better than most take-out Chinese, and you can make it with any lean cut of meat - flank steak, London broil, tenderloin, sirloin or skirt steak - so long as it is cut thin against the grain. Most takeout joints use snow peas, but sugar snaps are juicier and more succulent, and just as crunchy. (Their downside is that they are slightly more work: they need to be thinly sliced.) As for the sauce, it's simple: thick dark soy sauce (tamari works well), sesame oil, chicken broth and Madeira.

STIR-FRIED SNAKE BEANS



STIR-FRIED SNAKE BEANS image

Categories     Bean     Side     Stir-Fry

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 Tbsp vegetable oil
500g snake beans, cut into 6cm lengths
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 Tbsp caster sugar
30ml fish sauce
30ml chicken stock

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a wok untilit starts to smoke. Add the beans and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant. Add the caster sugar, fish sauce and chicken stock, and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until liquid has slightly reduced. Check seasoning.

Tips:

  • Choose tender snap beans: Look for beans that snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Prep the snap beans properly: Trim the ends of the beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces. You can also blanch the beans briefly in boiling water to help them retain their color and crispness.
  • Use high heat: Stir-frying requires high heat to quickly cook the beans and prevent them from becoming mushy. Make sure your pan or wok is hot before adding the beans.
  • Add the beans last: Beans cook quickly, so add them to the stir-fry last to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Stir constantly: Stirring the beans constantly will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season to taste: Add your favorite seasonings to the stir-fry to taste. Common seasonings include soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and black pepper.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried snap beans are a quick, easy, and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a main meal or as a snack. By following these tips, you can make sure that your stir-fried snap beans are always delicious and nutritious.
