Trim the beans, halve large pods, and use young or tender beans whole. Crush and finely chop the garlic. Blanch the beans in a pot of lightly salted, boiling water, drain well, and refresh under cold running water to preserve their bright green color. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan until smoking hot. Add the garlic to flavor the oil. Just before the garlic turns dark brown, add the beans and cook for about 1 minute, stirring. Add the salt, sugar, and soy sauce, and cook for no more than 1 minute. Serve hot or cold.
