Ingredients
  

For the Stir-Fry
  • 2 cups Green Beans Cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup Oil Adjust quantity for a healthier version
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Can be substituted with ground turkey or chicken
  • 2 tablespoons Fried Garlic Can substitute with fresh minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons Oyster Sauce Use hoisin sauce for a vegetarian option

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Heat a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom. Once heated, add the green beans and fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly wrinkled. Drain excess oil, leaving 2 tablespoons in the pan.
  2. Increase heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through, breaking apart with a spatula.
  3. Mix together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and rice wine in a small bowl. Pour this sauce mixture over the cooked beef, stirring to combine, and continue cooking for an additional 10-20 seconds.
  4. Add the fried green beans and garlic to the pan with the beef. Toss gently for 1-2 minutes until everything is well mixed and heated through, ensuring the green beans are coated with the sauce.

Ensure green beans are fully dried to avoid splattering oil. Customize sauce quantities to taste and consider adding bell peppers or snap peas for added crunch.
