Author Notes: Spicy, crispy, and crunchy – a delicious, easy, and very fresh-tasting combo. —Erin McDowell
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
-
vegetable oil, as needed
-
2-3
shallots, thinly sliced into rings
-
salt, to taste
-
2
tablespoons olive oil
-
1 1/2
pounds green beans, trimmed
-
3
cloves garlic, thinly sliced
-
red pepper flakes, to taste
Directions
- In a small saute pan, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium heat. When it is very hot, add the shallots and fry, tossing occasionally, until evenly golden, about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the shallots and drain on absorbent paper towels. Season with salt. Let cool to room temperature.
- Heat the olive oil in a large wok. Add the green beans and stir-fry until they are tender-crisp, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and stir-fry until the garlic is fragrant, 1-2 minutes more. Season with salt and serve with the crispy shallots.
