Stir fried Green beans with Garlic by DK on Apr 4, 2008
The moment I think Garlic, I think Chinese..But then I think Chinese for many other things even otherwise. Like Health and quick meals. Chinese cooking has ginger and garlic in almost all their dishes and stir fries are mostly or almost never made without the garlic.
I had some haricot verts in my freezer which was begging to be used! So, fixed myself a quick and yummy chinese stir fry with garlic and beans. Its v simple and takes only 5-8 min esp when you have frozen beans.
- Cook time:
- Prep time:
- Serves: 2 people
- 2 cups beans, cut diagonally or left whole
- 1 medium onion, sliced thinly
- 4-5 cloves of garlic, chopped into very small pieces
- 1 tsp Chilli paste ( which ia made with chilli pepper,seasonings and of course- garlic.Its v hot, so use it as per your discretion)
- 1-2 tbsp soy sauce( as per taste)
- 1 tbsp plum sauce * ( famous in Chinese cooking and taste great in stir fries)* Plum sauce has vinegar so I have skipped it, but in case of not using the same, go for Vinegar
- salt to taste
Thaw the beans if using frozen
Heat a non stick pan and heat it. Add peanut oil and add the Onion, then garlic and then the chilli paste in that order with a space of 10 seconds. Keep the heat high.
Then add the beans and saute for 5 min in high flame. Add the soy sauce,salt and plum sauce and keep stirring for 2-3 min more in high heat.

This was a very easy dish to put together. I used fresh beans and had to cook longer. Next time I would probably steam the beans prior to stir fry. Used lemon juice instead of plum sauce. The dish was very tasty and we had it with fried rice. Thanks for the recipe.
