Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans, removing any stems or ends.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and chili flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the seasoned oil.
Pour in the water and let the green beans steam for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are vibrant green and slightly tender.
Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes, letting the soy sauce coat the beans and sizzle away.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the beans and toss to combine.
Remove from heat and transfer the sizzling green beans to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish to complement any main course.
