Parboiled quickly, used sake instead of shaoxing wine. Used 1 tsp of red pepper flakes and 1/2 tsp of red chili garlic bean paste. I would reduce the heat, as this was pretty spicy... :) Trial and Error, very good the fresh ginger really counter acts the spiciness. Thank you for posting.

This recipe is a keeper, especially with my garden producing more beans than I can handle. I parboiled the beans and used far less oil than called for. They browned nicely and with the addition of hot chili oil they were out of this world.
