Cooking steps

1

Trim the green beans and dry thoroughly to ensure good blistering.
2

Heat 4 tbsp of vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add green beans and stir-fry them, turning occasionally, until the skins are wrinkled and blistered, about 7–10 minutes; remove beans and set aside.
3

Pour off excess oil, leaving about 2 tbsp in the wok. Lower heat to medium, add the minced pork and stir-fry until fully cooked and lightly browned, breaking up lumps.
4

Add chopped garlic, preserved mustard greens, and the white part of scallions. Stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
5

Return green beans to the wok. Season with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir-fry briskly over high heat for 2 more minutes, ensuring beans are well-coated and heated through. Garnish with scallion greens and serve hot.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

Green beans are the star of this dish, providing the signature blistered texture and natural sweetness. Paired with minced pork, preserved mustard greens, and aromatic garlic, the green beans deliver both flavor and structure that define Dry Fried Green Beans.

Q. How can I achieve the signature blistered texture on the green beans?

To get the signature wrinkled and blistered look, dry the beans thoroughly before frying and use medium-high heat with enough oil in a wok. Stir frequently and don't overcrowd the pan for even blistering in about 7–10 minutes.

Q. How do I avoid overcooking or undercooking the beans?

Keep a close eye during the frying step; the beans should look wrinkled but still feel slightly crisp. Remove them promptly when their skin is blistered—overcooking can leave them limp, while undercooking keeps them tough. Timing and medium-high heat are key.

Q. How many calories and how much protein does each serving have?

Each serving contains about 250 kcal and provides 13g of protein, making this dish a satisfying and relatively high-protein option. The protein comes mainly from the minced pork and the fiber-rich beans.
