Chinese Style Dry Fried Garlic Green Beans

4 servings · 5 min prep · 3 min cook

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 3 cups green beans (ends trimmed and cut in half)
• 5 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (use a high smoke point oil, like avocado oil; plus more for deep frying)
• salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp (optional for spice; this is a spicy Szechuan chili oil)

Steps

1. Optional: Blanch 3 cups green beans in boiling water for about 20 seconds until they turn bright green. Shock them in an ice water bath to cool them down and stop the cooking process. Remove from the ice water and then pat them dry. This gives you smaller, more uniform blisters on the green beans most similar to Din Tai Fung green beans, but otherwise this does not affect the taste.
2. Heat a deep pan or wok over high heat and add enough oil to deep fry 3 cups green beans. Test the temperature of the oil by dropping in a green bean. It should start to bubble and fry immediately otherwise the oil is not hot enough. Fry your green beans just until you see blistering and wrinkling on the skin, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Lay them on a rack or plate lined with paper towels.

   30 seconds to 1 minute

3. Add 1 tablespoon oil to a hot pan and sauté 5 cloves garlic until it becomes fragrant. Optional: add 1 tablespoon chili oil at this time if you would like to add spice. Next, add the fried 3 cups green beans and sauté together for 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
