Does anyone know a recipe for wrinkled green beans as seen on menus in Asian Restaurants?

I love these! I've seen them on the menu in Asian restaurants, they are carmelized with soy and something else. I have tried to make them but can never get the flavor right.Does anyone know a recipe for wrinkled green beans as seen on menus in Asian Restaurants?
These beans cook in just a few minutes. Do not be turned off by the withered appearance of the beans, they are very tender and full of flavor. I prefer to use fresh green beans, but frozen can be used as well. Only use 2 tablespoons of water if using frozen beans.





2 teaspoons peanut oil


1 pound green beans, ends snipped


1/2 inch slice ginger root, peeled and grated


1/4 cup water


1 teaspoon brown sugar


1 teaspoon dark soy sauce


4 chopped scallions





Heat a wok over medium heat and add the oil. Stir fry the green beans and ginger root for one minute. Add the water and sugar and reduce the heat. Simmer for five minutes, or until the beans are tender. Stir in the soy sauce and scallions. Serve hot.





Makes 4 servings.
