Sichuan Green Beans

Watch how to make it here

This Sichuan green bean recipe is tingly, spicy, sweet, and crunchy. It is a healthier alternative to deep frying but just as tasty, if not more. Quick to make as a side vegetable dish for those busy weeknights!

A few notes:

  1. Red Sichuan peppercorns can be found whole at most Asian grocery stores. Add it to a pepper mill to grind it into small fragments.
  2. Vegan oyster sauce can be found at most Asian grocery stores but can be substituted with hoisin sauce.
  3. Thai chili peppers are 9/10 spice level so please omit them if you’re not a fan of spicy food.
  4. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
