At our favourite Chinese Dim Sum place, they serve the most incredible green beans — they have such a lovely crunch to them. I wanted to replicate the recipe at home. I won’t make them often because they are fried, but they are a nice treat once in a while.
Ingredients:
- French Green Beans, washed, dried and trimmed
- Peanut oil
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- Sea salt
- Sesame seeds
Directions:
- Add about 1 cm of high flashpoint oil, like peanut oil to a frying pan or wok. Heat until about 300° F.
- In smaller batches, fry the green beans until the skin puckers, set them onto a layer of paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Work through the batches until you have fried all the beans. At this point, you may set them aside until you are ready to serve them.
- Pour off most of the oil and fry the garlic lightly (not brown), then return the beans to the hot pan and fry until thoroughly warmed.
- Serve hot garnished with sea salt and sesame seeds.
I do love the Chinese way with green beans. So tasty!

They would be even more delicious if you fried them in lard or tallow 🙂
