Chinese Stir Fry Garlic Green Beans (Din Tai Fung Copycat)

🧂 Ingredients

• 300 grams Green Beans

  washed and trimmed
• 1 tablespoon Garlic cloves

  minced
• 1-2 cups Avocado Oil

  for deep frying
• Salt and Pepper
• MSG

  a pinch

Instructions

• 1 Prep the Green Beans: Trim the ends of the green beans and pat them dry
  thoroughly.
• 2 Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or wok, heat avocado oil over medium - high heat
  until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You need enough oil to submerge the beans,
  about 2-3 inches deep.
• 3 Deep Fry the Beans (Bao Method): Carefully add the green beans to the hot oil in
  small batches. Flash fry for 2-3 minutes until they blister and slightly soften.
  Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beans to a paper towel-lined plate to drain
  excess oil or into a wire rack.
• 4 Garlic Stir-Fry: In another large skillet, add a small amount of leftover oil
  and heat over medium. Add lots of minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30
  seconds until fragrant.
• 5 Combine and Season: Toss the fried green beans into the skillet with the garlic.
  Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of MSG, stirring until the beans are
  well-coated and heated through.
• 6 Serve: Serve hot, straight from the skillet. Enjoy the crispy green beans,
  garlicky goodness!
