- 1 pound of green beans

1 tablespoon bean sauce (available at Asian markets)

Preparation
|
- Wash the green beans and drain thoroughly. Trim the ends and cut on the diagonal into pieces approximately 2 inches long.
- 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 7 - 10 minutes, until their skins pucker and turn brown and the green beans are tender without being mushy (I find 10 minutes works very well). Remove the beans from the wok.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of 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.
