About This Recipe:
This Sichuan dry fried string beans recipe is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. I recently ordered it at my local Chinese restaurant in Queens, and immediately gathered all of the ingredients to make it myself this week. It requires a pretty short list of ingredients, and comes together in only 20 minutes. The key to this dish is getting your pan super hot so that the string beans char and get that almost fried texture. Can’t go wrong with super savory string beans and ground pork in my book!
Enjoy!

-1 lb string beans
-1/2 lb ground pork
