Preparation Steps

• Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender-crisp. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking and maintain their vibrant green color.
• Drain the green beans thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
• Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
• Add the blanched green beans to the wok and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, tossing constantly, until they are blistered and slightly charred.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and salt. Pour the sauce over the green beans and stir-fry for another minute to coat them evenly.
• Transfer the green beans to a serving plate and serve immediately.
