Description

Here’s a different twist on serving green beans. The ingredients are super simple to find in most grocery stores. I like to use Chili Garlic Sauce to kick up the heat, but you don’t have to. You can prepare the green beans a day ahead, and make this dish in minutes. This pairs perfectly with steamed rice and a Teriyaki style grilled meat. We love this!

Ingredients

  • 1-½ pound Fresh Green Beans, Ends Trimmed (frozen Doesn't Work As Well)
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Garlic (or To Taste)
  • ¼ teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (optional Or Adjust To Taste)
  • 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar (can Use A Little More, If Desired)
  • Black Pepper To Taste
  • Kosher Salt (optional, To Taste)
  • Cornstarch (mixed With Cold Water To Thicken Sauce)
  • Sliced Almonds Or Sesame Seeds (optional)

Preparation

Cook the green beans in a pot of boiling salted water until JUST crisp-tender (about 3 minutes) plunge into an ice water bath to cool completely.

Drain well and pat the beans dry using paper towels.
NOTE: You can store the beans in a paper towel lined Ziploc bag, and assemble the dish the following day. Frozen green beans don’t work as well as fresh green beans.

Heat sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat; add in garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir-fry the garlic mixture for 1 minute. NOTE: I keep a jar of Chili Garlic sauce on hand, and add about 1 Tablespoon of this, along with the soy sauce mixture. It kicks up the heat a bit.

Add in beans and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.

Add in soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar and black pepper; cook until the sauce reduces slightly and coats the beans (about 1-1/2-2 minutes longer).

If you want a thick sauce mix a small amount of cornstarch (make sure to first mix it with a small amount of cold water and add the mixture towards the end of the stir-fry process).

Add in the almonds or sesame seeds; toss to coat and transfer to a bowl.
