Stir-Fried Chinese Long Beans

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 1 pound Chinese Long Beans, washed and trimmed to 3″ lengths
• 2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Heat up your wok, add oil. When barely smoking, add minced garlic. Fry just for a few seconds until fragrant, but not brown. You want to make sure that you don’t wait too long before adding the garlic to the oil, otherwise the oil will be too hot and the garlic will burn.

Add your long beans, fry in wok for 30 seconds, incorporating the garlic throughout the beans.

Add water, oyster sauce and soy sauce. Cover the wok. Let the beans steam for 5 minutes on medium heat. Check to see if beans are almost tender, but not too soft. If not, re-cover and steam an additional 1 minute. Uncover, let the rest of the liquid evaporate, about an additional minute. Serve.
