    "...Trim off both ends of the green beans." 😳 Are you telling us our parents could have just done that on the cutting board and NOT made us sit in the living room picking off each end by hand for half an hour???

    I order stir fried long beans almost weekly from my local Szechuan place. My girlfriend is always asking me how I can be satisfied with no meat or any other veg. It’s a thing I crave. So many nuanced flavors & textures. It’s one of my all time favorite dishes. I feel like Chinese chefs (even home cooks) apply so much love & consideration into otherwise simple dishes.

    You can reduce the oil by Air Frying the String Beans, just start them in the wok to coat them lightly with hot oil + salt. Then dump the beans in the 400 degree Air Fryer, while you cook the meat and other vegs.. When you get a char on the String Beans return them to the wok (leave the oil and juices in the basket). You may need to add water or drippings.

    Green Beans and Pork is one of my most favorite dishes to make. Had it one time at a Chinese restaurant...made it the following day as a main dish. A family favorite since. The inclusion of the red onion is neat. I usually add a tablespoon of fish sauce to my sauce base....because it is delicious.
    Another one I love is Tomatoes and Egg...mmm.

    • @catchnkill
      @catchnkill Před 7 měsíci

      This dish is different. The restaurant way is actually worse than the home cook way. The method you see in this video is the restaurant way. The reason for the deep frying the bean is to reduce the time for stir fry. In restaurant, they ususally deep dry a big batch of bean first. The cooking time of the dish is reduced to less than 5 minutes. Also you do not want crispyness of this dish. There is no way to keep its cripsyness and is also safe to eat. The best way is to skip the deep frying and use just a little bit of oil. And stir fry it till done. It takes more than 5 minutes. They use the wrinkle of the bean to tell if the bean is heated enough. It is a food safety measure. They do not tell it in the recipe as a tradition. But there is a reason for that.

    If the beans are bulging out, you can take the beans out, dry them, and then grow your own beans. I accidentally forgot my red bush beans in my garden, so most of them are going to be seeds now

  • @richardaustin4480
    @richardaustin4480 Před 4 měsíci

    First go at this and I didn't have the oil hot enough (I literally just bought a thermometer), despite that, it is unbelievable how tasty the beans get when fried. I did it using some long stem broccoli as well. Really good.

    @MountianGoat Před 4 měsíci +1

    Just found your videos. Thanks so much for putting these out. Our challenge is having only a radiant heat cooktop. This limits us to a flat bottom wok and poor heating on the sides. It looks like you use the Chef Master 15000 btu stove for your demos. You show a gas stove in the background. Does the Chef Master really provide sufficient heat or do you have to use the higher out put stove in the background for larger meals?

    What if I can’t get light and dark soy sauce? What can I use instead

      Light soy sauce is usually just labeled soy sauce, so you can just only use that. All the varieties are also available on Amazon. If you can’t get soy sauce at all… it’s hard to find a substitute for that

    Am I the only one who pulls out the 2 strings on each pod?

    This is one of, if not my favorite "vegetable" side dish... however I can't seem to figure out why this costs so much in restaurants... like the bean is all year-around, and the ingredients are relatively inexpensive
    I guess that just means I should start making it at home instead 😬

      Labor is the primary driver for restaurant cost and this dish requires a large amount of preparation for comparatively little return. Plus the American obsession with eliminating deep frying makes this dish a nonstarter for most customers.

      @@KN-xl6lw Interesting! Thanks for that info as I was wondering too.

      Vegetables and tofu are big profit margins for chinese restaurants. Mom used to waitress at them and the owners would remind her to push the veggies and tofu. They pay a dollar or 2 for greens and charge $16.99 for a stir fried dish. They are not making those profit margins for lobster because they are paying more for the seafood. That is why sometimes they offer amazing lobster deals... They know the usual Chinese family will also be ordering greens, tofu, soup, etc.
