"DRY-FRIED" string beans??
Yes I have "googled" for this but found the recipes a bit too
much...meaning the version I had was very simple at a restuarant recently just the green beans and garlic, seasonings??? I'd bet 99.9% vegetarian as I detected no meat or meat flavors in it. The ones online have ground pork, or beef, shrimp paste, etc...etc... If anyone has this I would love for you to share. Thanks to all in this group who keep it alive as well as us happy with all these wonderful recipes. hb3 |

Are you perhaps thinking of Shanghai string beans? They are very good, quite vegetarian and here is a reference to the recipe in the Peoples Republic Cook Book. http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/a...0/rec0050.html James Silverton. |

What you're after could be a variety of string bean dishes as mentioned by the previous 2 posters. My own offering/answer is in what you originally described... "just green beans, garlic & seasonings". My mum used to cook green beans just like that, oil in a very hot smoking wok, minced garlic & salt, throw in the sliced green beans, keep stirring or tossing to prevent the garlic & beans from burning but still enough high heat to cook/sear them through & just before serving, optional... a little stock is added to burn off/steam the beans a liitle/bring it back from being too dry. Served immediately. Cheap & simple Chinese home cooking. Of course in a rest. MSG or whatever seasonings might be added to enhance the flavours. But for home cooking, it's the simplicity of the recipe & making the most of the fresh beany flavours that works best. Give it a go on a very hot wok. Chinese love the beany flavours... that's how one distinguishes good soy sauce, hot bean sauce, any bean based sauce etc.. by the strength of it's beany flavours. HTH. DC. |

Sesame-Ginger Green Beans with Onions and Sweet Red Pepper 1 1/2 pounds green beans 2 medium onions, sliced 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 large red bell pepper, cut into thin strips about 1 1/2-inches long 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Cooking time: 10 minutes Put green beans into a colander and rinse under cold running water; drain well. Let dry on paper towels. In a large skillet, cook onions in vegetable oil over medium-high heat until they are golden and beginning to turn brown, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes; the pepper should remain bright red. Add the ginger and garlic and cook 1 minute longer, stirring. Add the green beans to the skillet. Drizzle on the sesame oil, and sprinkle on the sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes or until the beans are hot, stirring once or twice. Crunch............... |
