All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
Wash the green beans to remove any dirt.
Dry thoroughly with paper towels.
Chop the ends off and chop the green beans in half.
Smash and mince the garlic finely.
Heat enough oil on medium high in the wok to cover the green beans. The temperature should be between 350°F to 375°F.
Fry the green beans in batches to not overcrowd for 30 seconds to 1 minute per batch. Remove with a strainer. Repeat for the second batch.
Remove the green beans and save the oil for another deep-fried dish.
Use residual oil to fry the garlic until fragrant and it starts to brown a bit.
Toss in all the green beans and stir.
Season with salt and stir to coat evenly.
Taste and add more salt if needed.
Serve immediately.
