Ingredients

Scale

Green Beans

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed

Sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or sesame oil for stir-frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Beans: Wash and trim the green beans by snapping off the ends. Pat dry to remove excess moisture.
  2. Stir-Fry the Beans: Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and stir-fry for 4-6 minutes, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
  3. Add Garlic and Sauce: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the soy sauce and chili paste, tossing the beans well to coat evenly with the spicy sauce.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat once the beans are coated and slightly glossy. Serve immediately as a spicy and crunchy side dish.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili paste to control the heat level.
  • Use fresh green beans for the best crunch and texture.
  • Can be garnished with toasted sesame seeds or chopped scallions for extra flavor.
