Directions

  1. Heat the peanut oil in a wok or skillet with high sides over medium-high heat until almost smoking, add the green beans. Quickly cook and stir the beans in the hot oil until they are bright green and starting to show brown spots, about 2 minutes. Remove the beans to a bowl. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of oil from the pan and return to heat. Cook and stir the ginger and garlic in the oil until they have started to brown, about 2 minutes. Return the green beans to the wok, add the dark soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Cook until hot, about 30 more seconds.
