Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium red chili peppers, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim off the ends. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sliced red chili peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being cautious not to burn the garlic.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the oil, garlic, and chili peppers.
Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes over the green beans and stir well.
Cook the green beans for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and honey until combined.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the green beans and stir to evenly coat. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the liquid is slightly reduced and the green beans are glazed.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then give everything a final toss.
Remove from heat and transfer the chile green beans to a serving dish.
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
