Szechwan Green Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. string beans, tips cut off
2 onions, sliced medium thick
1 c. sliced mushrooms or 16 oz. can sliced mushrooms
2 hot chilli peppers
1/4 tsp. chopped garlic
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
3/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. sherry cooking wine
1/4 c. cornstarch or potato starch
1 Tbsp. cooking oil
1 c. broccoli florets (optional)

Preparation

Spray a wok or skillet with nonstick spray.
Pour a tablespoon cooking oil into the wok, under a low flame or heat.
When oil becomes hot, add the green beans and some onions.
Stir.
After about 3 minutes, add the rest of the green beans and onions. Continue to stir.
After about 2 minutes, add all the mushrooms (if you want broccoli florets, add them now).
Continue to periodically stir until the rawness has left the vegetables.
Chop up the chilli peppers into very small sections and add them to the wok.
Stir. Add the remaining ingredients except for the cornstarch.
Stir for 30 seconds and cover for 3 minutes.
Lift cover and gradually add the cornstarch and stir (this will produce a gravy).
When the gravy is at the consistency you like, serve and enjoy.
