If you like fava beans (and not everyone in this family does… *i.e. Sarah*), then you will probably very much enjoy this Stir Fried Fava Beans dish. Fresh fava beans will cook faster than ones that have been frozen, so take that into consideration!
Recipe Instructions
Heat oil in wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic, Sichuan peppercorn, dried chilis, and half of the chopped scallion. Cook for a minute, stirring vigorously to make sure nothing burns.
