How to cook deliciously - Stir Fried Green Beans with Ginger and Onions

1. Stage

Heat the oil in a wok until shimmery hot: Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat on the hottest burner you have for about 90 seconds. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat up until shimmery. (Toss a sliver of onion into the oil when you think it's hot. If the oil is hot enough, it will sizzle.)

2. Stage

Add the vegetables: Add the green beans, onions, and ginger and toss to combine. Break up any clumps of sliced onion that might have stuck together. Spread everything out in the pan and let it sear untouched for anywhere from 30 to 90 seconds. You want to get a little browning on the vegetables. Stir the vegetables and let sit for another 30 to 90 seconds. Add the sliced garlic, stir again and cook for another minute.

3. Stage

Add the soy sauce mixture: Mix the soy sauce and sugar together and pour into the pan. Turn off the heat and immediately toss the vegetables to combine. The sauce will start to caramelize and may burn unless you keep everything moving for a few seconds.

4. Stage

Add the sesame oil and black pepper: Pour the sesame oil over the green beans and onions and sprinkle with black pepper. Toss to combine one more time. The beans should still be somewhat crisp. They will cook a little more in the residual heat of the pan or serving dish.

5. Stage

Serve the beans: Serve immediately or let rest and serve at room temperature. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
