Green Bean and Chinese Sausage Stir-fry image

I always wondered what to do with lop chong, those small, slightly sweet Chinese sausages. I finally learned that they should be boiled for a few minutes, then sliced and stir-fried. I first tried this recipe when my husband returned from Costco with a HUGE bag of frozen baby green beans. It's quick, authentic and good. Modified somewhat from the Martha Stewart Cookbook.
