Method :
Trim the beans. Leave them whole if they
are young and tender, otherwise, cut them in half. Crush and finely chop the
garlic. Blanch the beans in a pan
of lightly salted boiling water. Drain and plunge in cold
water to stop the cooking and to preserve the beans bright color. Heat the oil in a wok or
frying pan. When it starts to smoke,
Add the crushed garlic to flavor the oil. Before the color of the
garlic turns dark brown, add the beans and stir-fry for about 1
minute. Add the salt, sugar and
soy sauce and continue stirring for another minute at most. Serve hot or cold. |
