‘Chinese Buffet’ Green Beans
Sister Pickles found and first used this recipe recently using the yard long beans which cook a lot faster than regular green beans but if slightly blanched, regular green beans will work fine. It's also been discovered that this recipe is great using not just green beans but also as an all around veggie medley, adding summer squash, onions, mushrooms, green pepper, eggplant or even chunked up green tomatoes! I was surprised how good the green tomatoes were. A quick and easy recipe.
‘Chinese Buffet’ Green Beans
1 TBS peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed (yard long)
1 TBS white sugar
2 TBS oyster sauce
2 tsp soy sauce
Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Stir in the garlic and cook until the edges begin to brown, about 20 seconds.
Add the green beans; cook and stir until the green beans begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the sugar, oyster sauce and soy sauce.
Continue cooking and stirring for several minutes until the beans have attained the desired degree of doneness.
