Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Once cool, crumble it into pieces.

  3. 3

    Toast the Cashews

    In the same skillet, add the cashews and toast them over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Make the Szechuan Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, Szechuan peppercorns, chili paste, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger until well combined.

Cooking the Green Beans

  1. 5

    Flash Fry the Green Beans

    In a large wok or frying pan, heat oil over high heat. Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until they are blistered and tender-crisp. Remove from heat.

  2. 6

    Add Sauce and Toppings

    Pour the Szechuan sauce over the cooked green beans, add the crumbled bacon and toasted cashews, and toss to combine.

Serve

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish
