Instructions
- Wash and then thoroughly dry 250 grams green beans with paper towels. Trim the stem ends off.
- Heat about ½-inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan to 360° F (180°C).
- Oil blanch the green beans in batches until they are vibrant green and the skins start wrinkling (about 40 seconds).
- Drain the string beans on a cooling rack lined with a few layers of paper towels. Repeat until you've flash fried all of the beans.
- Use additional paper towels to press out as much oil from the green beans as possible.
- Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the pan (save it for something else) and return the pan to the stove.
- Stir-fry 30 grams garlic until it just starts to brown around the edges.
- Return the green beans to the pan, along with 2 tablespoons doubanjiang, and stir fry everything together until the string beans are evenly coated with the chili garlic sauce. Serve immediately.
