  • Spicy Garlic Green Beans {Din Tai Fung Style}

Ingredients

Ingredients for spicy green beans labelled on a sheet pan
  • Green beans
  • Fresh garlic
  • Soy sauce
  • Chicken bouillon
  • Thai red chilli

A full list of ingredients with measurements is located on the recipe card, below.

Instructions

START WITH...

Collecting all your ingredients - This will make cooking so much easier. Gather all the spices you will need, and keep them nearby. 

Trim the green beans - Trim off the stringy ends off of any of the beans. They may not all have these stringy ends, but they are tough to chew.

Mince the garlic and red chilli - Finely mince the garlic and red chillis.

Step by step instructions to prepare green beans
  1. Dry fry the green beans: Dry frying is the method of cooking the beans in oil, to get rid of excess moisture. There is no coating on the beans. Dry fry the beans in a neutral cooking oil such as vegetable, canola or peanut oil. Once the skin of the beans is blistered, remove them from the pan and drain the excess oil on paper towel. Continue to repeat this process until all of the beans are fried.
  2. Saute the aromatics: Drain the oil from the pan, and add the garlic and chillis to the pan. Sauté the garlic and chillis until they are fragrant, and then add the soy sauce, and water. Let it simmer and reduce for 5 minutes.
  3. Toss the green beans: Add the green beans back to the skillet, and toss in the sauce. Enjoy!

Expert Tip

Fry the beans in batches! You do not want to overcrowd the pan, as it will drastically change the temperature of the oil. The result will be soggy, oily beans!

Substitutions

  • Thai red chilli - feel free to use red chilli flakes, or szechwan peppercorns
  • Soy sauce - use tamari or coconut aminos in place of soy sauce
  • Chicken bouillon concentrate - you may use powdered bouillon if you do not have the paste version

Variations

  • Bok choy - Try this recipe with bok choy instead of green beans for an equally as delicious twist on this recipe!
  • Kid friendly - omit the chillis from the green beans to make them kid friendly

Equipment

This is what I used to make this recipe - Please be mindful that different equipment and cooking utensils may yield varying results. Most of my favourite equipment can be found on my storefront.

  • Cast iron skillet

Storage

These green beans keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days. They will turn a little it softer as they sit in the fridge - keep this in mind!

You can reheat these on the stove, or in the microwave.
