Thanks!I am looking for a recipe for green beans the way they cook them in the chinese restaurants. Anybody know any?
are you talking about green beans that are crinkled? because if theyre wrinkly/crinkly, theyve been deep fried.





id say just deep fry them for a couple of minutes, until theyre crinkly, then make a bit of sauce out of some soy sauuce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, mabye even a bit of peanut butter.I am looking for a recipe for green beans the way they cook them in the chinese restaurants. Anybody know any?
Oriental Green Bean


1pound green beans


Sauce:


1 tablespoon bean sauce (available at Asian markets; Koon Chun is a good brand, or you can substitute hoisin 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 green beans and drain thoroughly. 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 for 7 - 10 minutes, until their skins pucker and turn brown and the green beans are tender without being mushy (I find 10 minutes works very well). Remove the beans from the wok.


Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the wok on medium-high heat. 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.

I use the skinny frozen green beans and stir fry them in oil and add garlic and soy sauce. One of my favorites.
All three previous answers are correct... the best is the one with chicken stock and garlic... funny, they taste much better... do not know why... pick that answer please after you try it!
