These Chinese-style garlic green beans are "dry fried", using a technique with less oil than your typical restaurant style green beans, but they come out equally delicious!
In 1 tbsp of oil over medium high heat, add your green beans and toss to coat in the oil (the pan should be relatively dry). Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the green beans are slightly charred but still crisp and remove from the pan.
In the same pan, add 1/2 tbsp oil and fry garlic over medium heat until fragrant (do not brown).
Add the green beans, salt and white pepper and msg. Stir fry and mix for another 30 seconds over high heat and serve immediately.
