Ingredients
500 g green beans
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/3 cup water
2 tsp freshly grated ginger, or bottled chopped ginger
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 to 2 tsp hot chili-garlic sauce
Generous pinch salt
Instructions
Trim stem ends from beans. Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add beans. Stir-fry 2 minutes. Carefully pour in water, as it may splatter. Stir often until beans are tender-crisp and most of water has evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Then stir in ginger, oyster sauce and 1 teaspoon (5 mL) chili-garlic sauce. Stir until evenly coated, 1 minute. Add salt and remaining chili-garlic sauce, if needed. Terrific with pork chops, steak or chicken.
