Rinse the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the seasoning packet from the Top Ramen, soy sauce, and 250 ml of water until the seasoning dissolves.
Pour the seasoning mixture over the green beans and stir well to coat evenly.
Let the beans cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the green beans are tender.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and optional red chili flakes over the green beans. Stir to combine.
Serve hot as a flavorful side dish or snack.
