Homemade stir-fried beans

Ingredients used: 500g long beans, 50g minced pork, 50g sprouts

Seasonings used: 30g Huang Feihong peanut base, 15g ginger, 15g green onion, 2 spoons soy sauce, 1 spoon cooking wine, 1 spoon starch, 1/2 spoon dark soy sauce, sugar to taste, salt to taste

practice:

1. Wash the beans, drain the water, remove the heads and tails, pick out the old tendons, and break them into small pieces. Chop ginger and sprouts into fine pieces, add starch, cooking wine and salt to the minced pork, mix well and marinate for 10 minutes.

2. Pour more oil into a small pot, enough to cover the beans. When the oil is 80% cooked, add the beans and fry over medium heat until the skin is dry and bubbles appear. Then turn to high heat and fry for 15 seconds to force out the oil. Remove from the heat and drain the oil for later use.

3. Pour a little oil into the pan. When the oil is hot, add the scallion, ginger, and Huang Feihong peanuts and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the pork filling and stir-fry until dry.

4. Add the fried beans, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt and sugar, stir-fry quickly and serve.

Tips:

1. The beans must be fried thoroughly, otherwise toxins will be easily produced.

2. If you don’t have Huang Feihong peanut base, you can also use dried chili segments and Sichuan peppercorns instead.
