Green beans are a kind of Dou Jiao which is named in the north of China, and people who live in the south call it Si Ji Dou. Most of the dishes about green beans that people in the north like are stewed cooking ways, while in the south, people like dry-fried green beans.
Generally speaking, some chili should be added to the dry-fried dishes to get the fragrant and spicy taste which is so perfect with rice. We all know that green beans are not easy to be cooked through. If eaten raw, people are prone to poisoning, so they are processed in advance by deep-frying in this dish.
The deep-fried green beans have a wrinkled skin, but they are as delicious as dry fried cauliflower, and they are worth trying for those who like vegetarian dishes.
