MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.03 Title: GREEN BEANS WITH GARLIC & RED PEPPER Categories: Vegetables, Chinese Yield: 6 servings 1 1/2 lb Green beans, fresh 2 c Oil 8 Garlic clove; peeled & -minced 1 Thai chile; coarsely crumble 1 T Soy sauce, thin 1/4 ts Salt 1/4 ts Sugar Trim the beans and cut them into 1-1/2 inch lengths. Make sure that the beans are quite dry. If necessary, rub them with a dish towel. Heat the oil in a wok over a medium high flame. When smoking hot, put in all the beans and turn the heat to high. Fry the beans, stirring now and then, for 1 to 2 minutes or until the skins just begin to crinkle but the beans are still crisp and bright green. Take out all the beans with a slotted spoon and put them in a colander that is resting in a large bowl. Turn off the heat under the wok. Remove all but four tablespoons oil from the wok. Heat on a medium flame. When hot, put in the garlic and the Thai chile. Stir and fry until the garlic turns a light to medium brown color. Put in the beanas and stir once. Now put in the soy sauce, salt, and sugar. Stir again to mix. Serve immediately. --- World of the East Vegetarian Cooking Madhur Jaffrey MMMMM * Sam Waring Sam.Waring@382-48-1.ima.infomail.com * * Disclaimer: The Infomail Association doesn't necessarily agree with * * my opinions and neither do I. * -- Rec.food.recipes is moderated; only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting.
