Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the green beans, cutting off the ends if necessary.

Step 2

Peel and finely grate the ginger and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the green beans and a pinch of salt. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the beans start to blister and soften slightly.

Step 5

Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another minute, letting the aroma develop.

Step 6

Pour the soy sauce, sesame oil, and water into the skillet. Toss everything together and let the beans cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the beans.

Step 7

Once the beans are tender but still crisp, remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 8

Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the beans for garnish.

Step 9

Serve hot as a side dish or over steamed rice for a simple meal.
