Szechuan Pickled Green Beans

1 pound green beans, washed, topped, and tailed
1 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon whole peppercorns, preferably Szechuan
1 (1-inch) knob ginger, sliced into coins
2 garlic cloves, sliced

I had some leftover grilled pineapple, so I chopped those and added them in.

For the recipe, go here: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/07/szechuan-beans-recipe.html

These are great as a snack, as part of a cheese & charcuterie platter and alongside Chinese and other Asian stir-fries. They really perk up Chinese leftovers.

Yum!

I’m on a pickling and kimchi jag recently with all the stuff coming out of our garden. This looks great !

Where are you sourcing your Szechwan peppercorns? And do you crack them or put them in whole ?

I got a bag of them from an Asian grocery store years ago. I put them in a glass jar and they still have great flavor.

I crack them slightly with a mortar and pestle.

Hope you both enjoy them [emoji2] After you've eaten the beans, the liquid makes a nice marinade, too.
 
GG Thanks for the recipe, My green beans
are gone for the season,But the grocery store
has them. How long do you have to let them
sit, before you can open them?

Just overnight, for the small ones I used. If your beans are a little older, they might need to sit for a few days.

I have gotten them there too. Love them. Just wish recipes would specify to use either the red or green ones. One is peppery the other more perfumie. I generally mix them together.
