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
  • 1/2 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
  • 1/2 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 1/2 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!

My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a supe My new favorite soup right now 😍Here’s a super easy and not traditional Korean ox bone soup aka Seolleongtang 설렁탕 🥰 Super hot bone broth is topped with beautifully marbled beef, Chinese chives, green onions, and some salt and pepper to taste. Add some Korean kimchi radish and it’s chef’s kiss!

See blog post for more detail on the ingredients (like which bone broth I bought) and full recipe ◡̈ You gotta use somen noodles for this recipe. It only takes 3 minutes to make. Tip: boil noodles at the same time as the broth to make cooking fast🍜

Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this turnip cake recipe aka loh bok go in cantonese. Gung Hey Fat Choy ([恭喜发财] my dumplings! PS. I don’t recommend saying lai see dou loi unless you’re very close to that relative or you are a young child lol

Full recipe is linked in bio or find on my bloggg 🧧🐰

I finally finished testing out this recipe (it’s beeen a few months haha)! I was struggling with the texture for a little while. Now, the recipe is good to go ◡̈  The flavor is very savory from the chinese sausage and cured pork belly (made from my dad!) and also sweet from the radish. The texture is firm but not too doughy because I loaded this up with lots and lots of radish. You will never find a restaurant that has as much radish as this homemade recipe. Lastly, I pan fried the turnip cake to give it a nice crisp at the end. 

Don’t forget Chinese New Year is celebrated on the eve (21st of January!) so have a nice dinner with your family on Saturday. Then my mom told me to not clean or do any labor on actual Chinese New Years Day (22nd of January). Wishing all you dumplings good health and wealth in the upcoming year.

This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Ch This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Chinese restaurant 😋Silken tofu is cooked in a sweet chicken broth and cornstarch slurry is added to thicken the soup as well as make the smooth & thick texture. 

Some Cantonese restaurants serve this with real crab meat (highly recommend if you have this!) and the color is on the whiter end (hence why we’re using egg whites!). However, if you want to use the whole egg, feel free to use it! The egg yolk makes the soup more yellow and creamy. 

You can google ‘cook with dana egg drop soup’ for full recipe or find it in my link in bio! Hope you have a wonderful week my dumplings and can’t wait to show you my Chinese New Year recipes!

Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) o Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) or korean seafood pancake is a great recipe to use all your leftover ingredients in the fridge. For groceries, I always use the ‘first in, first out’ method meaning the older groceries need to be used before eating the new stuff. I’m chopping up leftover vegetables and onions in small pieces and mixing them together with imitation crab. The pancake may taste different depending on what ingredients you have but once you mix it with eggs and some flour (especially korean pancake mix!), it will taste scrumptious in it’s own unique way. 

The next time you stock up, make sure to keep some type of seafood in the freezer at all times. For me, I tend to buy extra imitation crab and shrimp. Then you will always have good staples to make with your leftover ingredients. 

Check link in bio for recipe or google ‘crab jeon dana’ to find full recipe and directions ◡̈ Stay dry california dumplings, there’s lots of rain here haha.

My uncle taught me how to make braised pork over r My uncle taught me how to make braised pork over rice! This dish tastes sweet and savory (similar to teriyaki) which goes so well with rice. The recipe is inspired by Japanese soboro don which is served with scrambled egg, but I think it also reminds me of the Taiwanese dish, Lu rou fan. We cook the ground pork down in some beer to make the meat taste sweeter as well as cut down on the gaminess. 

Don’t forget to serve with hot white rice and a sunny side egg to complete the meal. I was intensely writing down the ingredients and instructions so you can make it at home 😉❤️Check it out in my link in bio or google ‘braised pork rice dana’ 🍚

You’re about to eat 2 bowls of rice with this ea You’re about to eat 2 bowls of rice with this easy and delicious mapo tofu! This is spicy, flavorful and a little tingly from the peppercorn oil. This is not an authentic replica of the sichuan mapo tofu but it’s very close. I would say the dish is a combo of sichuan and cantonese flavors 😍
My uncle taught me how to make this and it’s one of my favorite recipes to cook when I don’t have a lot of ingredients in the fridge. Also eating spicy and hot foods when it’s cold outside always makes me happy for some reason. Check full recipe in the blog or link in bio 🥵❤️‍🔥🌶

Sorry y’all for the lighting in the video. It’s cold and gloomy here in California. Hopefully weather gets better and we can have some golden ☀️ shots! Love you all and stay warm dumplings.
