  • Sichuan\/Schezwan Baked Green Beans recipe (2 Servings) (Cooking time: 25 Minutes)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Country of Origin:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • China<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • 1 pound fresh green beans (chopped in 2-3 inches long each).<\/li>
      • 1 tablespoon of Vegetable oil.<\/li>
      • 1 tablespoon of Sesame oil.<\/li>
      • 1 thumb-sized ginger (finely grated).<\/li>
      • 1 large-sized Scallion\/Onion (chopped in semi-circular shapes).\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/li>
      • 1 tablespoon of Cornstarch\/All-Purpose Flour.<\/li>
      • 1 tablespoon of Chili-Garlic Sauce.<\/li>
      • 1 tablespoon of Tomato Ketchup.<\/li>
      • 1 tablespoon of Oyster Sauce.<\/li>
      • Table salt (to taste).<\/li>
      • 1 teaspoon of Sesame seeds (for seasoning).\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • Take a deep bowl of water and bring it to a boil. (Note: The amount of water you take should thrice as much as that of the Green Beans).<\/li>
        • When the water reaches its boiling point, pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil (or any cooking oil of your choice) and stir till the mixture becomes a vortex.<\/li>
        • Once the vortex is created, pour in the chopped green beans and keep stirring for 2-3 minutes till they become tender (you may want to check the this by pricking a fork inside 1 or 2 beans and see if the fork is piercing and then coming out easily). drain all the hot water from the beans by using a large strainer and immediately wash them with cold water and set aside for cooling.<\/li>
        • Now, Take a separate pan and pour 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and til it oozes, in the meantime, prepare the sauce by adding 3 tablespoons of water to 1 tablespoon of cornstarch along with yet another tablespoon of chili-garlic sauce along with a tablespoon of oyster sauce. Mix till it becomes a paste.<\/li>
        • When the oil starts to ooze, add the ginger, garlic and scallions\/onion pieces to the pan and saute till there is an aromatic smell and they become translucent.<\/li>
        • Next, add the sauce and stir for a couple of minutes.<\/li>
        • When the entire mixture starts getting a little dry, add a significant amount of water (based on your servings, since this is 2 servings, I suggest adding a teacup full of water). Add salt (to taste) and keep sauteing for a couple of minutes on medium heat yet again.<\/li>
        • Lastly, when the gravy starts to thicken serve with a plate of piping-hot rice by topping it up with some sesame seeds (sesame seeds are my favorite as they look good. You can experiment with a different spice i.e., Ground Black Pepper or Himalayan Pink\/Rock Salt whichever is available in your local market).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
