SPICY GARLIC GREEN BEANS
This is a great dish we have at a local chinese restaurant that I came home and played with. They're an excellent side dish. I store some thai peppers in oil that I use in place of the olive oil but regular olive oil is fine. This recipe is great if you cube up a chicken breast into 1/2" cubes and add it also.

GREEN BEANS WITH GINGER AND GARLIC
Here is a recipe for fresh green beans, boiled just until barely tender and bright green, then tossed in a pan with minced garlic and ginger. The beans can be cooked a day ahead, leaving nothing more to do before the meal than to assemble everything over high heat.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and fill a large bowl with ice water. Working in two batches, boil beans until just tender but still crisp and bright green. Start testing after 4 minutes or so, being careful not to overcook. When done, plunge beans into ice water to stop cooking, lift out immediately when cool and drain on towels. (Recipe can be made to this point up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated, wrapped in towels.)
- When ready to cook, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide skillet over high heat. Add half the beans, half the ginger and half the garlic, and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until beans are heated through and ginger and garlic are softened and aromatic. Sprinkle with salt, and remove to a serving dish. Repeat with remaining oil, beans, ginger and garlic. Serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp, bruised, or have yellow or brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the tough ends of the green beans. You can do this by snapping them off or using a sharp knife.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching helps to preserve the green color of the beans and also makes them more tender. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the sauce: The sauce for this dish is made with a combination of garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. You can adjust the amount of each ingredient to taste.
- Cook the beans: Once the sauce is made, add the blanched green beans and cook until they are heated through. This should only take a few minutes.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the beans are still hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
This garlicky, spicy, and sesamey green bean dish is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The beans are tender-crisp and flavorful, and the sauce is packed with umami. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
