Preparation
- Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the ground cumin, crushed red pepper and about 1 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
- Step 2
Prepare the mushrooms: If you’re using cremini, button, shiitake or similarly shaped mushrooms, halve them through the stems. For branched varieties like oyster mushrooms, tear them into bite-size chunks.
- Step 3
Heat a wok or large 12-inch skillet on medium-high for 2 minutes. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of oil and add the ginger and white scallion segments. Toss for 15 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 4
Add the green beans, onion, garlic, cumin spice mix and 1 tablespoon of oil, and stir-fry, tossing constantly until the onions and beans start to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Step 5
Add the mushrooms, soy sauce and about 1 tablespoon of water, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, until the beans are just tender and the mushrooms are seared and golden.
- Step 6
Turn off the heat, add the green scallion segments and toss. Taste and make sure you are happy with seasonings, adding salt and pepper if needed. Serve with rice.

I used a skillet and was worried there was so many beans they would not begin to soften so added a splash of water, but then the mushrooms released a lot of water and definitely would not turn golden. If I make this again I would sear the mushrooms first and/or blanch the beans before adding to the skillet. Otherwise it tasted great and it was a great way to use up a mound of beans and mushrooms.
It really does need all that cumin. Excellent dish. would be improved with some kind of crunch, like cashews or even peanuts. Easy peasy.
Omit or reduce the extra salt (soy sauce is enough) and cut the cumin in half. Otherwise I really enjoyed this recipe.
My husband looked unconvinced when I suggested this recipe. What? No noodles? No sauce? (He is German, and sauce is a must). He did the slicing and dicing. I did the cooking. Really, this recipe »tastes like more«. It has the right blend of everything! We used a box of frozen princess beans, and I think that this helped with the moisture in the dish. When the mushrooms came in, I splashed them with soy sauce and sprinkled a little sugar on them to help them brown. It's a great flash-meal.
Great combination. I added chili crisp.
next time i will blanche the greenbeans
