I modified this recipe to be less oily. It is almost as good as take-out Chinese green beans. It tastes wonderful with ham and a baked yam.

SZECHUAN GREEN BEANS

My take on the long green beans you find in some of the Asian fusion restaurants. If you don't have the Szechuan peppercorns this dish will still taste great, though you may want to add some chili flakes or other spice to give it some pep instead of the peppercorns.

SZECHUAN GREEN BEANS AND SOBA



Szechuan Green Beans and Soba image

This is my most favouritest noodle dish. I love it just as it is but it makes a great side dish to many meals. To make it a veggie main add some cubed tofu or Quorn in with the green beans. This originally came from "Three bowls" cookbook by Seppo Ed Farrey.

SZECHUAN GREEN BEANS



Szechuan Green Beans image

These are great. The recipe was originally from one of the Moosewood cookbooks with a bit of tweaking. They recommend "follow the cooking method exactly, as it is critical to the success of this dish. Both the wok and the oil should be hot, and the beans should cook quickly over high heat. They will attain an indescribable texture, both crunchy and very tender at the same time. Also, try to hang in there with the full quantity of garlic. The intense cooking heat will take the edge off it, leaving behind just the right amount of flavor." ENJOY!

SZECHUAN GREEN BEANS WITH SOBA NOODLES



SZECHUAN GREEN BEANS WITH SOBA NOODLES image

Categories     Bean     Pasta     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 main course servings or 6 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb fresh string beans or asian string beans, stems removed
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tb Sesame Seeds
1 16 - oz package Soba (Japanese Buckwheat) Noodles
Soy Sauce to taste
2 Tbs Sesame Oil
1 Tb canola or vegetable oil
Red Pepper flakes to taste

Steps:

  • Place soy sauce in a small bowl with red pepper flakes. Cook the Soba noodles in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside. Heat the oil and add the garlic. Sautee for 1-2 minutes, then add the string beans. Sautee until bright green and just cooked. Add the green bean mixture to the noodles and toss. Add soy sauce and red pepper as desired.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh green beans. If using frozen green beans, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • To make the Szechuan sauce, use a good-quality Chinese chili paste. The spiciness of the sauce can be adjusted to taste by adding more or less chili paste.
  • If you don't have Szechuan peppercorns, you can use black peppercorns instead. However, Szechuan peppercorns have a unique flavor that really makes this dish special, so if you can find them, I highly recommend using them.
  • The soba noodles can be cooked ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the noodles in a saucepan with a little bit of water or broth.
  • This dish is best served immediately, but it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the dish in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.

Conclusion:

Szechuan green beans and soba noodles is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The Szechuan sauce is flavorful and spicy, and the soba noodles add a chewy texture and nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
