Easy Green Bean Recipe Oct 5th 2011, 10:05 After "dry-frying," the green beans are paired with stir-fried fresh mushrooms and seasoned with garlic, ginger, and hoisin sauce. Traditionally, Chinese green bean recipes are made with Asian long beans â€" dark green beans that can grow up to three feet long. But you can make this dish with other types of green beans, including haricot verts and runner beans. This recipe for easy green beans goes nicely with pork dishes and cooked rice. Serves 3 to 4. Ingredients: 3/4 pound green beans 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce 1 tablespoon water 3/4 teaspoon light soy sauce 1/4 teaspoon chili sauce 3 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil 1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh ginger 2 ounces (about 3/4 cup) sliced fresh mushrooms 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry 1/4 cup chicken broth Preparation: 1. Trim the ends from the green beans and remove strings if needed before slicing. Cut beans diagonally into 2-inch slices. In small bowl, combine hoisin sauce, water, soy sauce, and chili sauce. Set aside. 2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heated wok on medium-high heat. Add green beans. Cook on medium-high heat for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring continually, until their skins pucker and turn brown. Test the beans for doneness by poking with a fork â€" they should be tender but not mushy. Remove the beans from the wok and drain in a colander or on paper towels to remove any excess oil. 3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in wok. Add ginger and stir for a few seconds until aromatic. Add mushrooms. Stir-fry the mushrooms for 1 or 2 minutes, until they darken. Sprinkle the rice wine or sherry over the mushrooms while they are cooking. (Sprinkle a bit of black pepper over the mushrooms while stir-frying if desired.) 4. Push the mushrooms to the side of the wok and return green beans to pan. Stir in sauce. Reduce heat to medium. Add chicken broth. Cover. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes, until the liquid is nearly absorbed. Season with salt or pepper if desired.
