Chinese Green Beans

This popular Szechwan dish found is a staple at many Chinese restaurant buffets. Instead of chili paste, feel free to add 4 - 6 small dried red chilis if desired. Serves 4.

INGREDIENTS: 1 pound green beans Sauce: 1 tablespoon bean sauce 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce 2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar Other: 1 tablespoon chopped garlic 1 tablespoon chopped ginger 2 scallions, chopped, white part only 1/2 teaspoon chili paste 3 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil for stir-frying, or as needed

PREPARATION: Wash the beans and drain thoroughly. Remove the strings, trim the ends, and cut on the diagonal into pieces approximately 2 inches long. Combine the sauce ingredients and set aside. Heat the wok on medium heat and add 2 tablespoons oil, drizzling the oil down the sides of the wok. When the oil is hot, add the beans. Stir-fry until their skins pucker and turn brown (5 - 7 minutes). Remove the beans from the wok. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the wok. When the oil is hot, add the chopped garlic, ginger and scallions. Stir-fry briefly for a few seconds until aromatic. Add the chili paste. Add the sauce and the green beans. Toss the ingredients together and serve hot.
