CHINESE GARLIC GREEN BEANS



Chinese Garlic Green Beans image

These Chinese-style garlic green beans are the perfect side dish. The green beans are flash fried, which gently blisters the outer skin but keeps the center tender and lightly crisp. Serve with my pork and cabbage potstickers and jasmine rice!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound green beans (rinsed, and dried (see note 1))
1/2 cup safflower or vegetable oil ((see note 2))
2 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 5 to 6 plump cloves)
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt or kosher salt
red pepper flakes
toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Snap off the tough ends of the green beans. If your green beans are very long, snap them in half.
  • Heat the oil in a wok over medium-high heat. To check to see if the oil is hot enough, stick bamboo chopsticks into the wok so that the tips of the chopsticks are touching the bottom. You want to see tiny bubbles rapidly forming around the chopsticks. Alternatively, you can throw a green bean into the wok. If bubbles start to form around the bean immediately, the oil is ready for frying.
  • Working in batches, fry the green beans for about 2 minutes, until the green beans start to wrinkle on the outside. You don't need to cook the green beans for too long. Use a spider strainer to strain the oil from the beans and then transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat until all the beans are fried. Turn off the heat. If you want the beans to be less greasy, blot them with paper towels.
  • Carefully pour the used frying oil into a bowl. If you do not want to handle hot oil, let the oil cool completely in the wok. Don't bother wiping the wok at this point because you'll be using it to fry the garlic next, and you can use the residual oil in the wok for that.
  • Heat the wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook it for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the green beans back to the wok, along with the salt. Stir to combine. Cook for another minute. Turn off the heat and transfer the green beans to a serving plate. Garnish the beans with red pepper flakes and toasted sesame seeds, if you like.
  • Serve the green beans with my egg fried rice, chicken chow mein, or pork potstickers!

EASY CHINESE BUFFET GREEN BEANS



Easy Chinese Buffet Green Beans image

I always load up on the green beans at the local Chinese buffet and have attempted to recreate that tasty treat at home. At first I used raw green beans, until I had to use up some that I had steam cooked in my bamboo steamer the night before. What a difference precooking makes! Since I do most of my cooking on the fly, amounts listed aren't exact but were ballparked to allow publishing.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb fresh green beans
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/4-1/2 cup oyster sauce
1/8 cup sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Precook the green beans preferably by steaming. Boiling works as well, just be absolutely sure to DRAIN THEM WELL since you will be adding them to HOT peanut oil, and you don't want any eruptions!
  • In a heavy wok, pour enough peanut oil to cover the bottom by about 1/8 inch deep. Heat until hot; test by breaking off a little piece of green bean and dropping it into the oil. Instant frying means it's hot enough.
  • You can use your hands to drop the beans into the oil, I prefer tongs just to be safe. Only add enough beans to sit comfortably in the hot oil without overcrowding.
  • Move them around a bit; flip them and cook until they are shriveled and a few are slightly browned.
  • Remove from wok with tongs; drain oil from wok; return the beans to the wok; reduce the heat but keep it hot.
  • Shake on as much oyster sauce as you like, adding a couple large pinches of sesame seeds or more also as you like.
  • Toss beans around to coat; heat the sauce and get the sesame seeds fragrant.
  • Done! Eat 'em up!
