How to Make Broad Beans Fava Beans Stir Fried With Szechuan Pepper
- Bring a pot of salted water to a simmer. Add the shelled broad beans and cook for 4 minutes.
- Drain the broad beans, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Immediately transfer the broad beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
- Gently pat the broad beans dry with a paper towel.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the broad beans and stir-fry for 1 minute until slightly softened.
- Add the ground Szechuan peppercorns, sugar, soy sauce, rice wine, rice vinegar, and fermented black bean paste. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, ensuring everything is well combined.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of the reserved cooking liquid and cook for 2 minutes, tossing continuously over high heat, until the sauce thickens slightly and the beans are tender but still retain a slight bite. Add more cooking liquid if needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add salt if necessary.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds.
