Instructions

  1. Trim the green beans and cut them in half or into 1.5–2 inch pieces. Wash and drain. Trim the seafood mushrooms, wash, and cut into 1.5–2 inch pieces. Drain. Deseed the red bell pepper and cut into thin strips. Thinly slice the garlic. Cut the dried chilies in half.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil with the olive oil and 1 tsp salt. Add the green beans, stir, and cover. When the water boils again, drain the beans well.
  3. Heat a wok over high heat for 2–3 minutes. Add the corn oil and heat until it shimmers; stop if it smokes.
  4. Mix the cornstarch with the water to make a slurry.
  5. Stir-fry the garlic and chilies for 20–30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  6. Add the blanched green beans and cook for 1–2 minutes.
  7. Add the ground bean sauce, sugar, ½ tsp salt and chicken bouillon if using. Stir for 1–2 minutes.
  8. Add the mushrooms and bell pepper and stir for about 1 minute.
  9. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for about 1 more minute. Taste and adjust, then serve.
