    Chinese Stir-Fried Green Beans

    These Chinese stir fried green beans are my favorite dish to get at Chinese dumpling restaurants. The flavor of the green beans with the pork sauce is unmatched! The secret to getting that restaurant flavor is to fry the green beans in oil until they have wrinkled!

    The Chinese stir fried green beans are a great side dish to go with dumplings and a main dish protein (or more vegetables). Feel free to change up the meat choice if pork is not your favorite. The seasonings for this dish is on the savory side so make sure you cook extra rice!

    Chinese stir fried green beans

    Ingredients you need for your chinese stir-fried green beans:

    • 1 pack of green beans
    • 4 tbs oil (to fry green beans)
    • 10 pcs of dried red chili pepper (optional if you don’t like spicy)
    • 1 shallot, minced
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • ½ lb of minced pork (can sub with minced turkey or vegetarian meat)
    • 1 tbs shaoxing cooking wine (sub with any cooking wine or omit if you don’t have alcohol)
    • 1 tbs oyster sauce
    • 1 tbs hoisin sauce
    • ½ tbs soy sauce
    • 1.5 teaspoon dark soy sauce (for color and can be substituted with regular soy sauce)

    Steps to make the chinese stir-fried green beans:

    • Step 1. Wash and trim the ends of the green beans.
      • Cooking tip: make sure to pat the green beans dry with a paper towel after washing to avoid oil splatter when frying.
    • Step 2. Heat sauce pan or wok to medium heat. Then add 4 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is hot, add your green beans. Fry green beans for 5-7 minutes until green beans have wrinkled. Then, set aside.
    • Step 3. In the same sauce pan, pour out most of the oil and leave a little oil behind. Fry the dried red chili pepper until dark red. Next, add your minced shallot and garlic, then fry until golden.
    • Step 4. Add minced pork and saute for 1 minute. Then, add 1 tablespoon shaoxing cooking wine, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, and ½ tablespoon soy sauce. Mix everything together. Fry the minced pork until there is no liquid and the meat has browned.
    • Step 5. Then, add 1.5 teaspoon dark soy sauce and mix.
    • Step 6. Finally, add the green beans and stir fry for one more minute! Hope you enjoy!
