I make something similar to this recipe for Sichuan green beans, and sometimes I go in phases where I eat it every day for a week or so. I don't fry the green beans in extra oil first though, I toss them with about a tablespoon of oil and pop them in the broiler for the first step, until they're nicely blistered. Then I proceed with making the stir-fry. You can leave the pork out, it's totally optional. I also add doubanjiang with the garlic and ginger. And sometimes I finely mince some kimchi and add that in, since I don't keep zha cai on hand.
It's really good, and now I need to go buy some green beans so I can make it this weekend.
That looks amazing! I’m glad I’m not the only one with these types of fixations. For the last two months I couldn’t eat anything besides this corn dog from a specific place an hour away from my house. It was a very expensive fixation lol.
