Sichuan Green Beans

It is the last day of Chinese New Year. How did it pass so quickly? I can’t even recall what I did in the past two weeks. Time flies! As I am getting older, the day feels like is getting longer, the week is getting shorter and the year is getting even shorter.

Ingredients:

Chinese green beans (500 g), garlic (2 cloves), ginger (about 1/2 inch size piece), dried chilli (5), dried sichuan peppercorn (1 tablespoon), canola oil (2 tablespoon), sea salt.

What to do:

1. Cut Chinese green beans into 5 cm long pieces.
2. In a fry pan, add canola oil, dried chilli, sichuan pepper corn, sliced garlic and ginger. Cook over low heat until garlic is nicely golden.
3. Add Chinese green beans, continue cook over low heat until beans are soft and have a nice chargrilled colour.
4. Season with sea salt.
5. Serve with some rice.
