Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams green beans
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Wash the green beans and trim the ends.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, and 2 tablespoons of water to create the sauce. Set it aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the green beans to the skillet and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften and develop a slight char.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Pour the prepared sauce over the green beans and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and fully coat the beans.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the green beans to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top as a garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy your Sauteed Asian Green Beans!
