Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh green beans
- 3 units large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans by cutting off the ends, then slice them into 1-inch pieces.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a fork until the yolks and whites are combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir frequently, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the green beans and stir well to coat evenly.
Push the green beans to one side of the skillet to make space for the eggs.
Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space in the skillet and let them cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until they start to set.
Gently scramble the eggs with a spatula, mixing them with the green beans as they cook. Continue to stir for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked.
Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste and give it one final stir.
Remove from heat and serve hot as a side dish or light main course.
