Preparation
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Do Ahead: Marinade can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
