A quick Sichuan stir-fry, pickled fava beans are made by stir-frying boiled beans with pickled mustard greens and garlic over high heat. The salty, sour flavor of the pickles balances the texture of the beans, and the dish can be served on its own as a simple main course.
Drain the peeled, boiled fava beans and pat them dry. Finely chop the pickled mustard greens and squeeze out a little of their liquid.
Heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Stir-fry the garlic and red pepper for 20 seconds, then add the fava beans and stir-fry for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the pickled mustard greens, sugar, and salt, and continue stir-frying over high heat for 3 more minutes.
Remove from the heat, toss with the finely chopped scallions, and serve hot.
Keep the heat high and stir constantly while cooking the fava beans, or they may stick to the pan and turn mushy.
