Stir-Fried Hyacinth Beans

Ingredients

• hyacinth beans
• meat stock (高湯)
• oil

Instructions

1. Select freshly picked hyacinth beans. There are two preparations:
2. First method: Stir-fry the beans in meat stock (高湯), then remove the meat and keep only the beans.
3. Second method (superior): Stir-fry the beans in oil alone, using generous quantities of oil for fine flavor. The beans should be tender and soft — this is the mark of quality. Reject beans that are rough and withered, or thin and meager, as these come from poor soil and are not fit to eat.
