Instructions

  1. Rinse the green beans under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim the tips and set the beans aside.
  2. Heat 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) of oil in a wok or stockpot to 350°F (175°C) for deep-frying. Gently drop the green beans into the oil. As soon as the skin of the green beans becomes wrinkly, remove them with a strainer or slotted spoon, and drain the excess oil by laying the beans on a bowl lined with paper towels. Season with a pinch of salt. Discard the oil. (Work in batches to give the green beans enough space for deep-frying.)
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry until lightly browned. Then, add the ground pork, dried shrimp, and dried red chilies. Continue stirring until aromatic, then add the green beans.
  4. Add all the seasoning ingredients and stir continuously until everything is well combined. Dish out and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Tips:
  • Do Not overcrowd the green beans in a wok or stockpot when deep-frying. Deep-fry the green beans in batches if necessary. 
  • Quickly deep-fry the green beans at 350°F (175°C) until the skin becomes wrinkly and remove them immediately. This step helps to retain the crisp-tender texture of green beans after stir-frying.
