Instructions
- First mix together all the stir fry sauce ingredients. That includes sugar, Chinese cooking wine, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Keep aside for later.
- Heat up a large shallow pan or wok and add the oil. One tablespoon is enough because we will dry fry the green beans.
- Add the sliced ginger and cut garlic to the pan, as well as the Szechuan pepper seeds and stir fry on high heat for a minute.
- Continue to add in the green beans and stir cook for a minute.
- Now pour the stir fry sauce over the green beans while keeping everything on high to medium heat and quickly stir fry everything so that the flavor are incorporated.
- Continue to stir cook on high heat for about 8 minutes or until the beans are cooked through.
- Garnish with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds and serve still hot.
Notes
- It's important that you keep the sauce ready and the green beans cleaned, and with the ends trimmed, because you will be working very quickly during the stir fry process.
- I like to use white and black sesame seeds as a garnish contrast. You can use both or either one.
- If you want to keep it less spicy, reduce or omit the red pepper flakes
- DOn't omit the Szechuan pepper in the recipe, they give a lot of flavors. You can reduce if you like but I don't think they are spicy hot.
