A reader was asking for a vegetable dish for Labor Day. Szechuan Green Beans are a great way to serve fresh green beans. Instead of stir-frying, the beans are “dry-fried” for several minutes, making them extra tender. As a final touch, the beans are briefly stir-fried in a flavorful sauce.
While Szechuan green beans (also called Chinese green beans) are traditionally made with Chinese longbeans, you can use haricot verts, runner beans, or other types of green beans. A reader gave this recipe a positive review, saying “I made this recipe several times last summer. It is very easy, and incredibly delicious. It is a reason to grow green beans, and it gives you lots of reasons to have friends over to eat them!” Perfect for the last outdoor gathering of the summer!
