Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.

  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the dried red chilies and Szechuan peppercorns. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to blister and become tender-crisp.

  4. Pour the sauce mixture over the green beans and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beans.

  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer more heat, you can add additional red chilies or Szechuan peppercorns at this stage.

  6. Transfer the Spicy Szechuan Green Beans to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.

  7. Serve hot as a side dish or pair with steamed rice for a complete meal. Enjoy the explosive flavors of this dish!
