Dietaries: Vegetarian
Serves: 4 as part of a shared meal
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
300g brown mushrooms
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
300g green beans, trimmed, cut in half
½ small brown onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine
1 long red chilli, sliced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar or honey
1 teaspoon corn flour with 2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon white sesame seeds to garnish, toasted
METHOD
Finely chop the mushrooms into a rough dice. Alternatively you can blitz them in a food processor then set aside.
Heat a wok or cast iron pan over a high heat. Add half the oil then the beans and cook them for 3 minutes, or until charred on the outside but still crisp in texture. Remove the beans from the pan and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the pan then add in the onion, garlic and ginger. Stir fry for 1 minute then add in the mushrooms. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened. Pour in the Chinese cooking wine to deglaze the pan then toss through the chilli, soy, hoisin and return the green beans. Toss for 1–2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Pour in the cornflour mixture and sesame oil then toss until it thickens and becomes glossy. Place onto a serving plate then sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
