Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams green beans
- 3 links Chinese sausage (lap cheong)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Rinse and trim the ends of the green beans. Cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Slice the Chinese sausage thinly on a slight diagonal to maximize surface area.
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger (or finely mince if grating is not an option).
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir well to create the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced Chinese sausage and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the sausage releases its oils and starts to slightly crisp. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the green beans and stir fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are tender-crisp but still bright green. If the pan seems too dry, add a splash of water to help steam the green beans.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and optional red chili flakes to the green beans. Stir fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the cooked Chinese sausage to the wok, and pour in the prepared stir fry sauce. Toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly in the sauce.
Let the stir fry cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and cling to the green beans and sausage.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice.
