Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 sprays nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir fry for about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp and slightly blistered.
Push the green beans to the side of the skillet and add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the center. Stir fry for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and toss everything together to evenly coat the green beans. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
If desired, sprinkle the dish with crushed red pepper flakes for added heat.
Serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice for a light main course. Enjoy!
