Sichuan Green Beans

Method

Top and tail the green beans, then heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat until shimmering. Add the green beans and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until they start to blister and darken, then remove and set aside. Add the garlic, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and dried chillies to the wok and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the beans to the pan, then add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil, tossing everything together for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with sliced spring onions before serving.
