Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Stir-Fried Green Beans with Ginger and Garlic.
Step 1
Start by heating peanut oil in a wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat until it’s almost smoking—this is the perfect temperature for a delicious stir-fry.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, toss in the green beans and stir-fry them quickly for about two minutes.
Step 3
You want them to turn a vibrant green and develop a lovely brown color.
Step 4
After that, carefully remove the green beans from the pan and set them aside in a bowl, letting their flavor shine on their own for a moment.
Step 5
Next, drain all but two tablespoons of the oil from the pan and return it to the heat.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to infuse the oil with flavor! Add minced ginger and garlic, stirring them for about two minutes until they start to turn golden brown and fragrant.
Step 7
This is where the magic happens! Once the ginger and garlic are ready, bring the green beans back into the mix.
Step 8
Pour in dark soy sauce, a sprinkle of sugar, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 9
Stir-fry everything together for another 30 seconds, ensuring the beans are heated through and coated in that delicious sauce.
Step 10
Enjoy the vibrant colors and enticing aromas as you prepare to serve this delightful dish!.
