take your beans and chop em how you want em, whether that’s Not At All if you’re some kinda freak who likes Long Beans, cutting them in half like my lazy ass does, or doing some weird biased french cut bullshit, give them that slice
now take some oil (or butter) and grease those bad boys up. Throw in some minced garlic, some onion powder, some garlic powder because you can’t have too much garlic, some salt and pepper, and maybe a little thyme
now go roast those fuckers at 400 degrees for like idk 10 minutes before you check on them. They should be wilted, browning, starting to char in some spots. If not, wait a little longer until they are
this is how you roast a green bean
I’m telling you this because apparently I roast a pretty mean green bean, since these college kids will eat like 10Ib of them when I make them (versus <5Ib when the other cooks make them) so I guess I have some sort of Special Knowledge here

How to make green beans:
Stir fry with lao gan ma
Done.
I prefer them with sui mi ya cai.
I’ll have to check it out!
My European brain was very confused on how to roast at 400 degrees when most ovens can’t heat to more than 225 degrees
also that’s sad? the internet says that’s only 437F?? mine goes up to 500F (that’s 260 for you non free people)
My oven is over 15 years old so maybe technology has improved while I wasn’t paying attention
scrub ass oven can’t even hit the inflection point of farenheit and kelvin
sorry, 400 degrees F(REEDOM)
If you need help telling whether you added enough salt/garlic/onion/pepper when you season the beans, simply taste one after tossing them in the oil/seasoning, it’s that easy folks. If it tastes good and appropriately salty, good job, if it tastes too salty, idk I guess wash them off and try again or something I don’t know I’ve never had that problem
if it’s too salty, add more bean
you know what would be fun, if I knew enough about search engine optimization to get this on google for “how to cook a green bean”
From what I remember, SEO runs on a few principles, mostly keyword usage in URL, header and body text, frequency and quality trackbacks (other sites pointing towards another). More ‘legitimate’ trackbacks push your pagerank higher. So to get your intended site higher you pretty much have to spam. That’s why you’ll find search results flooded with highjacked blogspot sites that copy and paste content pushing you to an third site.
One of my favourite green bean dishes is 干煸四季豆 or fried green beans and sounds similar to what you’ve stepped out. I think the dish shallow fries in oil to get the crispy texture rather than roasting, but it also uses a shit ton of minced garlic. Can be made veg if you leave out the lard/pork mince.
nah this probably tastes better but roasting them like this is a lot easier and simpler. Also get more brown and black on those bad boys
Same dish no? Chef Wang doesn’t add lard separately because the wuhuarou pork belly has enough fat already. I’m not a chef so may have misunderstood some parts so appreciate your insight! I’ll probably switch to roasting at home myself cos when I wok fry it sets off all the fire alarms in my apartment.
Also love chef Wang such a down to earth guy
I wouldn’t say it’s the same dish since that’s all fried and seasoned with what looks like chilies and szechuan peppercorns (idk exactly i don’t speak mandarin or Cantonese) so the flavor will be really different. I haven’t fried green beans in a wok powered by a jet engine but i imagine the texture would be more crisp as well? But idk
But i mean the way I do it is good it’s just seasoned more simply and roasted. I guess you could season the beans the same as in the video and still roast them though and it’d be pretty good
Edit: oh if you meant it’s the same dish as what you mentioned originally, yeah, I googled the phrase you used and that video with chef Wang was what came up lol I meant that that probably tastes better than how I roast them but seems like more effort
my guess is the other cooks are skimping on the garlic
If they’re lucky these kids will get beans sprayed with PAM and sprinkled with salt and pepper before being roasted at like… idk how they’re roasting them but they’re the equivalent of if I roasted them at 400 for like 5-6 minutes. they just look steamed, which they probably are from overcrowded pans
i don’t want to shit on the PAM too hard because I’ve done it before when really pressed for time, but like, idk if I’ve ever seen anyone really properly season the vegetables but me
This thread is making me hungry!
good, go roast some green beans
Here’s my green bean recipe:
Fry 12 oz. of bacon in a pan until very crispy, set aside.
Fry about a pound of potatoes in the bacon grease. I typically use a frozen bag of diced hash browns.
Add two cans of French cut green beans (drained).
Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, chili powder, red pepper flakes and/or whatever else tickles your fancy.
Cook until the green beans are browned and tender.
Crumble bacon into bits and add to beans. Also add fried onions.
