How To Make dry-fried string beans
-
Step 11. Wash the beans under running water and cut or pinch off tips of the beans from both ends. Leave them whole unless they are too long. Dry beans on a paper towel.
-
Step 22. Heat the oil in the wok or skillet until it smokes. Add the beans and cook over high heat stirring or turning frequently, until they are wrinkled and lightly browned about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside.
-
Step 33. Pour off all but 2 Tbl. of the oil. add the pork and the peppers and stir over high heart breaking up the lumps until the pork cooks and no pink shows about 2 to 3 minutes. Add soy sauce and stir in until well mixed.
-
Step 44. Put string beans back into the pan, add the sugar salt and wine(You would add the MSG here, but I don't use it because I am allergic). Stir until well mixed.
