Does anyone know the recipe for those great green beans they always have at Chinese restaurants?Chinese green bean recipe?
Szechuan Green Bean


INGREDIENTS:


1 pound Chinese longbeans (also called yardlong beans or just longbeans)

1/2 teaspoon sugar


1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste


Pepper to taste, optional


2 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil for stir-frying, or as needed


PREPARATION:


Wash the longbeans, drain thoroughly, and trim the tops and bottoms. Cut the longbeans on the diagonal into slices approximately 2 inches long. Chop the garlic, ginger and white part of the scallions. Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the longbeans and stir-fry until they start to shrivel or ';pucker'; and turn brown (5 - 7 minutes). Remove the long beans and drain in a colander or on paper towels.


Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the wok on high heat. Add the garlic, ginger and scallions. Stir-fry for a few seconds, then add the chili paste and stir-fry for a few more seconds until aromatic. Add the longbeans and the remaining ingredients. Mix together and serve.





Serving suggestion: Szechuan Green Beans would make an excellent side dish to accompany Mapo Tofu.
