Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
- Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon, adjust for spice preference
- Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon
- Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon
- Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon, minced
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Green beans
- 1 pound, trimmed
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
- Add the trimmed green beans to the hot oil and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to blister and char slightly.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring quickly to prevent burning.
- Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, then sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and salt. Continue to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the green beans are tender-crisp and well coated with the sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and serve hot as a delightful side dish.
Tips

- You can substitute the green beans with other vegetables like snap peas or asparagus for a delightful variation.
- If you prefer a sweeter flavor, drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup into the soy sauce mixture.
