  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Description

These wok-fried soybeans with garlic and chili are a spicy and flavorful appetizer, perfect for pairing with cocktails.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz cooked soybeans with the shell on
  • 1 Tbsp salad oil (canola oil)
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 piece Hawaiian chili pepper, minced or dried chili (may use a Thai pepper)
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Heat a wok over high heat until it is very hot.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of salad oil to the wok.
  3. Sauté 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of minced ginger, and 1 minced Hawaiian chili pepper in the oil until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add 8 oz of cooked soybeans with the shell on to the wok and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the soybeans are heated through.
  5. Pour in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.
  6. Continue to stir-fry for another minute, ensuring the soybeans are well-coated with the sauce.
  7. Serve immediately as a spicy and flavorful appetizer or side dish.

Notes

For a milder dish, remove the seeds from the chili pepper before mincing. These soybeans are best served immediately while hot. If you can’t find Hawaiian chili peppers, Thai peppers make a good substitute. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
