Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb green beans, washed and trimmed
- 8–10 cloves of garlic, minced
- salt
- pepper
- vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions
- In a wok, bring about 6 cups (or enough water to cover the green beans) to a boil.
- Prepare an ice bath: a large bowl of water and ice
- Cook the green beans for 30 seconds – 1 minute, then immediately remove to the ice bath.
- Drain the water and fill the wok with 1/2 cup vegetable oil, or enough to fill it about 1/4″ and set to medium heat.
- Cook the garlic for about 1 minute, just long enough to get aromatic and stir once or twice to keep the garlic from browning.

- Serve warm.
