Sichuan Dry-Fried Green Beans (干煸四季豆)
Chinese (Sichuan) · East Asia
STOVETOP
8/10
Green beans wok-fried until blistered and wrinkled, then tossed with ground pork, preserved vegetables, and Sichuan peppercorns.
Why It Works
Dry-frying (no liquid) blisters the green beans, concentrating their flavor and creating charred spots; ya cai adds a salty, funky crunch that elevates a simple vegetable dish.
Key Ingredients
green beans
ground pork
preserved mustard greens (ya cai)
Sichuan peppercorns
dried chilies
garlic
soy sauce
