Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

  2. Add the minced garlic and chopped dried red chili peppers to the hot oil. Stir fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Add the fresh green beans to the skillet. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until the green beans start to blister and turn bright green.

  4. Pour in the soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Stir well to coat the green beans with the seasonings.

  5. Add the water to the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Cover the skillet and let the green beans cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.

  6. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch mixed with water and let it simmer for another minute until the sauce thickens.

  7. Taste the Hunan Style Green Beans and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more soy sauce or chili peppers for extra heat.

  8. Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and garnish with some extra chopped chili peppers for a spicy kick.
