Ingredients

• 10.25 lb green beans
• 10.25 tbsp chopped garlic
• 10.25 tbsp chopped ginger
• 20.5 scallions, chopped, white part only
• .50.125 tsp chili paste
• 30.75 tbsp vegetable oil, or as needed

Sauce:

• 10.25 tbsp bean sauce
• 10.25 tbsp soy sauce
• 20.5 tsp water
• 1.50.375 tsp sugar

Steps

1. Wash and drain green beans thoroughly. Trim the ends and cut on the diagonal into pieces approximately 2 inches long. Combine sauce ingredients and set both aside.
2. Heat wok, or electric frying pan, on medium heat and add 2 tbsp oil. When oil is hot, add the beans. Stir-fry for 7 to 10 minutes, until their skins pucker and turn brown and the green beans are tender without being mushy. Remove beans from the wok.
3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in wok on medium-high. When oil is hot, add garlic, ginger, and scallions. Stir-fry briefly for a few seconds until aromatic. Add chili paste. Add the sauce and the green beans. Toss the ingredients together and serve hot.
