Dry Fried String Beans

Seasonings: 250g cooking oil, 3 teaspoons cooking wine, 1 teaspoon (dark or light)soy sauce, 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

1. Remove both ends and the tendons of the string beans. Break them into pieces of about 6cm long. Clean the string beans and drain them thoroughly otherwise, during the dry frying process, the oil will splash.

2. Clean and mince the lean pork and small pieces of garlic. Clean and cut the dried chili peppers into small chunks.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Heat the wok with the cooking oil. Put in the string beans and fry them over a high heat until the skins of the string beans are ruffled in order to make sure that they are cooked thoroughly. Pick them out and drain the oil.

2. Leave some oil in the wok. Add the garlic and dried chili peppers and fry them until they are fragrant. Add the minced lean pork and cooking wine and stir-fry them until the pork is dry and crisp.

3. Add the cooked string beans, soy sauce, salt and chicken powder. Stir-fry them for a further 10 seconds.

4. The dry fried string beans are ready. Dish them out!
