nobody I know personally does this, and I've never seen it on the menu of any restaurant I've been in. Is this something new? What do fried green beans taste like? It looks like they absorb a lot of oil......will this lead to frying a lot of other vegetables?

Mmmmm,...The act of frying the green beans is only what it looked like,...in actuality sauteing vegetables in a saute' pan on high heat is a great way to heat individual to just a few portions of ingredients quickly and economical for service to an order and plating. This method of heating the vegetables
( green beans in this case) allows the chef to impart many different flavors to the dish, such as lemon, garlic, Cajun spices, jalapenos, etc..This method also can ensure the vegetables don't get too overly done, and the desired tenderness of the particular veggie can be achieved for optimum taste and color...

I fry in a wok with a small amount of peanut oil. They have enough moisture to steam themselves, I cook over high hea, just until they're bright green. I hate mushy boiled or steamed green beans, so this is the only way for me.
I toss in some almonds at the end, and a sprinkle of soy sauce mixed 50/50 with water. The kids eat it all up!
Broccoli (damp from being rinsed, and cut into small pieces) also cooks up great this way.

It's been done for as long as I've been living. (47 years) I grew up eating green beans fried in bacon grease. Mmmmmm! Heavenly!

fried "fresh" green beans are delicious. you make them with onions, bacon/ham and maybe new potatoes. they are one of the best things you have ever tasted. and yes, it has been done for many years.
