not even arguable.
from an out of print cookbook -- i copied it out in a library many years ago and have used it ever since.
serves 6
2 pounds green beans
sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice wine or sake
1.5 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup minced scallions
cut beans on the diagonal into 3" lengths.
combine the sauce ingredients.
heat a wok until hot, add the oil, and heat until very hot.
add the scallions and stir-fry over high heat for about 15 seconds (just count), until fragrant.
add the beans and stir-fry for another minute.
add the sauce and heat until boiling. cover and reduce the heat to medium. cook for about :12.
uncover, increase the heat to high, and cook until the sauce has reduced to a glaze.
toss lightly and serve.
we have over the years eaten this with savory tofu dishes, rice, and a little ginger salad. so so good.
