I am huge fan of green beans fresh from Green City Market and the addition of Sichuan mustard greens makes this dish splendid.
I shallow
fry the green beans, a method that blisters them on the outside and leaves them
tender on the inside but still have a crunch.
This
dish is a great extra to any meal especially breakfast. I serve it hot with a
side of eggs.
Bon
Appetit!
