Well first thing I remember is they are a special variety.. very narrow and longer than what I grow..

I know my Mother always added a slice of bacon Or maybe salt pork Or ham hock...so any stock broth would add flavor to enhance the main course..

They are blanched for a minute or so in hot boiling salted water, plunged immediate in an icebath, well drained and then stir fried:

There are many different recipes, all delicious!

This popular Szechuan dish found is a staple at many Chinese restaurant buffets. Instead of chili paste, feel free to add 4-6 small dried red chilis if desired. Serves 4.

Ingredients:

1 pound green beans (blanched 2 minutes)

Sauce:

1 tablespoon bean sauce (available at Asian markets; Koon Chun is a good brand, or you can substitute hoisin sauce)

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

1 tsp oyster sauce

2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry

1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

Other:

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

1 tablespoon chopped ginger

2 scallions, chopped, white part only

1/2 teaspoon chili paste

3 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil for stir-frying, or as needed

Preparation:

Wash the green beans and drain thoroughly. Trim the ends and cut on the diagonal into pieces approximately 2 inches long.

Heat a pot of water and add salt.  When it starts boiling, add the beans.  After 2-3 minutes, remove and transfer to an ice

bath.  Drain well and set aside.

Combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Heat the wok on medium heat and add 2 tablespoons oil, drizzling the oil down the sides of the wok. When the oil is hot, add the beans. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until their skins pucker and turn slightly brown and the green beans are tender.  Remove the beans from the wok.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the wok on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chopped garlic, ginger and scallions. Stir-fry briefly for a few seconds until aromatic. Add the chili paste. Add the sauce and the green beans. Toss the ingredients together and serve hot.
