These Sichuan dry fried green beans are cooked until blistered, wrinkled, and smoky, then tossed with ground pork, pickled mustard greens, and ground Sichuan peppercorns. This savory Sichuan side dish comes together in just 30 minutes, and the beautifully browned green beans give it that authentic restaurant-style flavor I love.
