Ingredients

4 garlic cloves, crushed
¼ cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons black bean garlic sauce
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons crushed or coarsely chopped Sichuan peppercorns
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 pound Chinese long beans or green beans, trimmed
Kosher salt

Steps

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Combine garlic, mirin, oil, black bean sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, Sichuan peppercorns, and soy sauce in a large bowl. Lay long beans flat on a cutting board and lightly score each side with a knife, being careful not to cut all the way through. Add long beans to marinade and let sit 10 minutes.
Remove long beans from marinade, letting excess drip back into bowl; set marinade aside for serving. Grill long beans, turning once, until lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and serve with some of reserved marinade drizzled over.
Do Ahead: Marinade can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
