Method:

1. In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 4 1/2 teaspoons sherry, and the garlic. Add the ground beef and, with clean hands, mix the flavorings into the meat.

2. Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons oil in a wok or large, heavy skillet over high heat. Put the walnuts in the skillet and fry for a few minutes, until crispy. Drain and put aside.

3. Using the same oil, stir-fry bite-size chunks of the ground beef mixture until done through. lift out the beef, and drain.

4. Pour the oil and fat out of the skillet, and put a few tablespoons of fresh oil in. Heat it up over high heat, and add the green beans, onion, and ginger. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

5. Add the beef back to the pan, and stir everything up. Stir in the remaining soy sauce and sherry, and another clove of crushed garlic if you like.

6. Sprinkle the toasted walnuts on top of each serving, and pass the soy sauce at the table for those who like more.
