Gan Bian Si Ji Dou

DBD started liking this dish last year. This is my second attempt at making it. Still needs improving, but ok as is.

  • vegetable oil
  • green beans (400-500 g)
  • salt
  • 115 g pork
  • 1/4 t sichuan peppercorns
  • 3 dried chilis
  • +3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 t ginger, minced
  • 1 T shaoxing wine
  • 1 T soy sauce
  • splash dark soy sauce (optional)
  • ~1 t sugar
  1. Wash beans. Break off rough end. Dry thoroughly.
  2. Heat 1 T oil on medium-high in large skillet. Layer beans, without overlap, and fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping every 15-20 seconds. Beans should start to brown and wither. If pan starts to smoke, turn down heat to medium. Move to plate.
  3. Add pork and sichuan peppers to empty pan and cook until surface of pork is cooked.
  4. Add the chilis, garlic and ginger. Stir until aromatic.
  5. Add the beans, and stir for a few seconds.
  6. Add the remaining ingredients (wine, soy(s), sugar). Stir until beans absorb sauce, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Salt to taste.
