Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams fresh green beans
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans, cutting off the ends. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice the jalapeno pepper into thin rings, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sliced jalapeno. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the oil and aromatics.
Stir in the soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid to steam the green beans for 3-4 minutes.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water has completely evaporated and the green beans are tender-crisp.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve immediately as a side or enjoy on its own.
