Chinese Garlic Green Beans

Fry the green beans in hot oil for one to two minutes until the skins wrinkle and they become tender.

Remove the fried green beans from the wok and drain them on a paper towel.

For a shallow-fry method, cook the beans in a skillet, flipping them individually until they brown.

For an air fryer method, first blanch the green beans in boiling water for 90 seconds to soften them.

Toss the blanched beans with olive oil and cook in the air fryer for 5 to 6 minutes.

Sauté a generous amount of minced garlic in a wok until fragrant.

Toss the cooked green beans with the garlic, salt, and Lao Gan Ma chili crisp for extra flavor.

Mix well and serve immediately.
