    Sichuan Green Beans

    Source: The Occasional Vegetarian


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 pound green beans
    • Seasoning Sauce:
    • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
    • 1/2 teaspoon chili oil
    • 1 teaspoon honey
    • 1 tablespoon medium-dry sherry
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
    • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
    • 1 scallion, white and green parts, chopped
    • 1 clove garlic, chopped


    Instructions


    1. Cut the stem ends off the beans and discard. Steam the beans for 3 to 4 minutes. Submerge in ice water to stop cooking; drain.

    2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, chili oil, honey, sherry, and sesame oil; set aside.
    3. Place a wok or large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it smokes, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the peanut oil. Immediately add ginger, scallions and garlic; stir-fry 1 minute. Add beans and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes.

    4. Restir the seasoning sauce. Add all at once and stir continuously until sauce is absorbed, about 30 seconds. Serve hot or warm.

    5. Servings: 4


    Final Comments


    Variation: For Sichuan Asparagus, repalce the beans with 1 1/2 pounds asparagus. Use only the tender part of the asparagus and cut into 2-inch pieces.
