STIR-FRIED STRING BEANS AND WATER CHESTNUTS
To serve 4
1 pound fresh string beans
2 tablespoons peanut oil or flavorless vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
10 water chestnuts cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup chicken stock, fresh or canned
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon chicken stock, fresh or canned

   PREPARE AHEAD:

   1. Snap off and discard the ends of the beans, and, with a small knife, remove any strings. Cut the beans into 2-inch pieces.

   2. Have the beans, oil, salt, sugar, water chestnuts, chicken stock and cornstarch mixture within easy reach.

   TO COOK:

   Set a 12-inch wok or 10-inch skillet over high heat for 30 seconds. Pour in the 2 tablespoons of oil, swirl it about in the pan and heat for another 30 seconds, turning the heat down to moderate if the oil begins to smoke. Drop in the string beans and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the salt, sugar and water chestnuts, and stir once or twice before pouring in the stock. Cover the pan and cook over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the beans are tender but still crisp. Now give the cornstarch mixture a stir to recombine it and add it to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are coated with a light, clear glaze. Transfer the entire contents of the pan to a heated platter and serve at once.
