In restaurants, these green beans are typically deep-fried in oil. This simplified home version stir-fries the beans until browned and blistered, then combines them with lively seasonings for a robust side dish. Ingredients:
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces |
1 tablespoon canola oil, divided |
1/4 cup chopped shallots |
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic |
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
1 tablespoon chinese black vinegar or balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Cook beans in boiling water 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water; drain. Pat beans completely dry with paper towels.
2. Heat a 14-inch wok over high heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to wok, swirling to coat. Add green beans to wok; stir-fry 3 minutes or until browned. Spoon green beans into a bowl.
3. Add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to wok, swirling to coat. Add shallots, garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper; stir-fry 15 seconds or just until garlic begins to brown. Return green beans to wok. Add vinegar, soy sauce, and salt to wok; toss to combine.
