6 stepsSteps

Method

  1. 1 Pick the tender shoots and leaves, discarding the old stems as they are tough and fibrous.
  2. 2 Wash and drain completely for 20 minutes; if there is still water, the pan will cool down and the vegetables will release their water.
  3. 3 Heat a pan with lard and oil until it smokes.
  4. 4 Sauté the crushed garlic for 15 seconds, then add the vegetables and stir-fry over high heat for 45 seconds.
  5. 5 Forty-five seconds is the limit; if the beans are overcooked, they will become mushy and turn yellowish.
  6. 6 Pour Shaoxing wine around the rim of the pan, season with salt and sugar, and serve immediately.
