Ingredients

• 500 grams green beans
• 200 grams cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the green beans and trim off the ends. For longer beans, cut them in half to make evenly sized pieces.

Step 2

Slice the cremini mushrooms into thin, even slices.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the green beans to the skillet. Stir fry for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until they start to become tender but still have a slight crunch.

Step 7

Push the green beans to one side of the skillet and add the sliced mushrooms. Stir fry the mushrooms for about 3 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 8

Mix the green beans and mushrooms together in the skillet.

Step 9

Pour the prepared sauce over the vegetables and toss everything to coat evenly. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the vegetables.

Step 10

If using, sprinkle red chili flakes for a bit of heat and toss again.

Step 11

Remove the stir fry from the heat and garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Step 12

Serve immediately as a side dish or over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
