Method
0 of 2 done- If using a frencher, feed the beans through it stem-end first; otherwise, halve them diagonally. Blanch the beans in a large pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking, then drain well.
- Heat the oil in a 30.5 cm heavy frying pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the beans and stir-fry until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.
