Equipment
- 1 wok
Ingredients
- 200 gr green beans
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp mushroom powder
- 1 tsp Shao xing wine
- 1 tsp fish sauce
Instructions
- Heat some oil in a wok and toss in the minced garlic. Stir until fragrant, then add the cut green beans. Stir-fry briefly, then pour in the Shao Xing wine. The aroma that rises here is your sign it’s going to be delicious!
- Season with salt and mushroom powder, then drizzle in the fish sauce and stir everything evenly. Cover the wok with a lid and let it cook for 2–3 minutes until the beans are tender but still slightly crisp. Give it a quick final stir, and it’s ready to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t overcook the green beans. Stir-fry just until they turn bright green and slightly tender — that’s the secret to keeping their crisp texture.
- Use high heat. A hot wok helps the beans cook quickly and keeps them from turning soggy.
- Add garlic at the right time. Let the oil heat first, then add garlic. This brings out the aroma without burning it.
- A splash of Shao Xing wine goes a long way. It enhances flavor and gives that signature wok aroma you find in restaurant-style stir-fries.
