Ingredients
Seasonings
- 1/4 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
- 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or sherry
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Rinse the green beans under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Trim the tips and set the beans aside.
- 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.)
- 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.
- 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.
