Szechuan Spicy Green Beans
Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
1
Combine green beans and water in a large skillet heated over medium-high heat. Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans reach a tender-crisp texture, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Introduce ginger, garlic, and sesame oil into the pan; cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden brown, usually within 1 to 2 minutes.
2
Prepare a small bowl by combining soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Stir the ingredients until they are well combined. Pour this mixture over the green beans, allowing it to simmer and thicken enough to coat the beans evenly, typically taking 3 to 5 minutes.
