Instructions

1
Select and wash the fresh green beans, then chop them (mainly to allow the flavors to penetrate).
2
Put the cut green beans into a small bowl with a lid.
3
Add fine salt, mainly to draw out the moisture from the green beans, making them crisper and more tender.
4
Pour cold water into the pot until it covers the green beans, add red chili peppers, ginger slices, and Sichuan peppercorns, and pour in white vinegar (the crucial step).
5
Boil to reduce internal heat.
6
While hot, pour the cooked broth into a small bowl containing green beans.
7
Put the lid on, wait a few hours, and it will be ready.
