Chinese Restaurant-Style Garlic Green Beans
Those delicious garlic green beans you get when you go to Din Tai Fung? Yeah, it's these.
Ingredients
- 3 cups green beans, trimmed and cut in half
- 5-10 cloves of garlic, minced (I used 10)
- Salt to taste (or 1/2 tsp)
- Oil for frying (I used vegetable)
Instructions
- Add oil to a wok or pan and bring to 350 F
- Add green beans and flash fry for 30 seconds. 1 min if you want tender green beans
- Remove green beans from oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate (or wire rack)
- In a new pan, add 1 tbsp of oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Turn off the heat.
- Add back in the green beans as well as the salt.
- Toss until evenly coated and enjoy!
Notes
- Do not let oil dip below 350F or you will lose the wrinkling
- You can opt for a shallow fry (I usually do this so I can use less oil)
- This recipe does not work in the air fryer. You may get wrinkling but the green beans will be tender instead of crunchy.
