Step by Step Method

Step 1

Wash the green beans, drain thoroughly, and trim the tops and bottoms. Cut the green beans on the diagonal into slices approximately 2 inches long. Chop the garlic, ginger and scallions. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the green beans and stir-fry until they start to shrivel or "pucker" and turn brown (6 to 7 minutes for longbeans). Remove the green beans from the wok and drain in a colander.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the green beans and the dark soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper if using. Stir everything together and taste and adjust the seasoning if desired.

Step 5

Serve hot.

Wonderful beans! I used regular green beans and cooked them a wee bit longer. Served them over rice and steamed veggies. Just the right amount of heat for us. They were soooo yummy! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
