👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Prepare the green beans: Ensure the green beans are dry. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the green beans in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Stir-fry vigorously for 5-8 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp and have developed charred, blistered spots. Remove beans from the wok and set aside. Alternatively, you can deep-fry them in 350°F (175°C) oil until blistered, then drain well.
⏱️ 8-10 minutes - 2
Cook the pork: Add the remaining 1-2 tablespoons of oil to the wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and break it up with a spatula. Stir-fry until the pork is cooked through and starting to crisp, about 3-5 minutes. If using Shaoxing wine, add it now and stir-fry until evaporated.
⏱️ 3-5 minutes - 3
Add aromatics and preserved vegetables: Push the pork to one side of the wok. Add the chopped ya cai, dried chilies, and Sichuan peppercorns (if using) to the cleared space. Stir-fry for about 30-60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the chilies. Then, mix everything together with the pork.
⏱️ 1 minute - 4
Add garlic and combine: Add the minced garlic to the wok and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the blistered green beans to the wok. Add the soy sauce and sugar (if using).
⏱️ 1 minute - 5
Toss and finish: Increase the heat to high. Toss everything vigorously in the wok for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the beans are well coated with the pork mixture and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Serve immediately.
