Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

4

garlic cloves, crushed

¼

cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)

¼

cup vegetable oil

2

tablespoons black bean garlic sauce

2

tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar

2

teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

2

teaspoons crushed or coarsely chopped Sichuan peppercorns

1

tablespoon soy sauce

1

pound Chinese long beans or green beans, trimmed

Kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Combine garlic, mirin, oil, black bean sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, Sichuan peppercorns, and soy sauce in a large bowl. Lay long beans flat on a cutting board and lightly score each side with a knife, being careful not to cut all the way through. Add long beans to marinade and let sit 10 minutes.

    Step 2

    Remove long beans from marinade, letting excess drip back into bowl; set marinade aside for serving. Grill long beans, turning once, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and serve with some of reserved marinade drizzled over.

    Step 3

    Do Ahead: Marinade can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
