Step by Step Method
Step 1
To make the sauce, combine the broth with the next 6 ingredients (soy sauce - salt) in a bowl and stir until well mixed.
Step 2
Pour the oil into 2-quart saucepan and heat to 350-degrees F over medium-high heat. Carefully slip the green beans into the oil and cook, stirring continuously, until they are wrinkled, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon or wire skimmer, transfer the beans to paper towels to drain. Reserve the oil.
Step 3
Heat a wok or stir-fry pan over high heat until hot. Add 2 teaspoons of the reserved oil, swirling to coat the sides. Discard any remaining oil, or strain and save for another use. Add the green beans and sauce and stir-fry until the sauce boils. Add the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce thickens.
Step 4
Transfer to a serving plate and serve.
