These Din Tai Fung Green Beans are loaded with garlic and everyone's favorite side dish when I go to the restaurant. The only problem is they are SO expensive at $16 per plate!

1 lbgreen beans

washed and trimmed to 3" pieces

15 clovesgarlic

finely minced

½ tspkosher salt

to taste

¼ tspwhite pepper

¼ tspMSG

or chicken bouillon powder

Instructions

Step 1

Wash green beans and pat dry. Trim ends off green beans and cut them in half to about 3" equal sized pieces.

Step 2

Add 1" of neutral oil to a shallow pan and heat to 375F, fry in batches for 1 minute ensuring the oil does not drop below 325F. If the oil drops too low, you will get soggy green beans, so fry in smaller batches if this happens. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

Step 3

In a pan or wok, add 2 tbsp of the reserved frying oil and add the garlic. Sauté on low for 1-2 minutes. We want to release the aroma of the garlic to a pale golden color but not browned. Add back the green beans and season with white pepper, msg, and salt to taste.
