sichuan green beans

Ever since having these Sichuan-style dry-fried green beans on a recent trip to Hamilton, I've been obsessed with trying to make them at home. Imagine crispy green beans tossed in a salty-spicy mixture of Sichuan peppercorns, garlic and pork. It's such a savoury and flavourful dish that all you need is a big bowl of fresh steamed rice on the side.
