  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         String beans
   1      tablespoon    Sugar
   2      cups          Oil -- for deep-frying
   2      tablespoons   Chicken stock
   1                    Slice ginger -- chopped
   2                    Scallions -- chopped
     1/4  pound         Ground pork
   2      tablespoons   Red wine vinegar
     1/4  cup           Szechuan preserved -- vegetable; chopped
   1      tablespoon    Sesame seed oil
   1      teaspoon      Salt
   1      tablespoon    Soy sauce

1.Wash string beans.  Cut off ends and string.  Cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Dry on paper towel.

 2.Heat oil until smoking hot; slide in string beans gently. Deep fry beans until wrinkled, about 5 min.
Turn frequently. Drain. Remove.

 3.Reheat 2 Tbsp oil in wok.  Stir fry ginger for 10 seconds. Add pork. tir fry until color changes.  Add preserved vegetable. Add beans, salt, soy sauce, sugar, and stock. Stir fry 2 minutes or until dry. Add last 3 ingredients. Stir fry for 1 minute or until thoroughly heated.

 Serve hot or cold 
 You can find the preserved vegeable in the canned food section of most Asian groceries.  I find that stir frying >> the string beans in a little bit of oil works as well as deep frying them in 2 cups of oil.

 Here's a recipe from "Madame Wong's Long Life Chinese Cookbook." I don't know about the long life bit, but the dish is quite good. I hope it's the one you are looking for.
