Equipment
- 1 wok
Ingredients
- 300 grams Green Beans washed and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon Garlic cloves minced
- 1-2 cups Avocado Oil for deep frying
- Salt and Pepper
- MSG a pinch
Instructions
- Prep the Green Beans: Trim the ends of the green beans and pat them dry thoroughly.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or wok, heat avocado oil over medium - high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You need enough oil to submerge the beans, about 2-3 inches deep.
- Deep Fry the Beans (Bao Method): Carefully add the green beans to the hot oil in small batches. Flash fry for 2-3 minutes until they blister and slightly soften. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beans to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil or into a wire rack.
- Garlic Stir-Fry: In another large skillet, add a small amount of leftover oil and heat over medium. Add lots of minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine and Season: Toss the fried green beans into the skillet with the garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of MSG, stirring until the beans are well-coated and heated through.
- Serve: Serve hot, straight from the skillet. Enjoy the crispy green beans, garlicky goodness!
