Step 1

Make sure your green beans are thoroughly dry. (If vegetables aren’t dry when you add them to the hot wok or pan, they will splutter and braise instead of stir-frying.)

Step 2

Make sure that everything is prepared and within your reach, near the stovetop. Combine the soy sauce and wine or sherry in a small bowl or measuring cup and don’t forget about the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (You can also combine them in another small bowl).

Step 3

Then, heat an at least 12-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 10-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan.

Step 4

Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan. Also, add the garlic and ginger, stir-frying for no more than 10 seconds.

Step 5

Next, add the green beans.

Step 6

Toss together, then add the soy sauce and Chinese rice wine and stir-fry for one to two minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender.

Step 7

Finally, remove from heat and serve with a big portion of turkey stuffed peppers or just clean your wok with a paper towel and prepare it for stir-frying the ground turkey for an authentic Chinese duo!
