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.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup water
1 pound sliced green beans
2 tablespoons Asian sesame oil
2 clove garlic, minced
Red pepper flakes, to taste

Steps:

  • In a skillet, bring water and green beans to a simmer. Cook, uncovered until water evaporates. Drizzle in sesame oil and stir in garlic and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat and cook for 1 minute. Serve hot or cold.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for green beans that are bright green in color and have no blemishes or bruises.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the green beans by snapping them off or using a knife.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the green beans. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the green beans are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the green beans from the boiling water and place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the garlic sauce: The garlic sauce is what gives these green beans their spicy flavor. To make the sauce, combine minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil in a bowl.
  • Stir-fry the green beans: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the blanched green beans and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the green beans are heated through.
  • Add the garlic sauce: Add the garlic sauce to the skillet or wok and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is evenly distributed and the green beans are coated.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the spicy garlic green beans hot with rice or noodles.

Conclusion:

Spicy garlic green beans are a quick and easy side dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. The green beans are perfectly crisp and tender, and the garlic sauce is flavorful and spicy. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck party.
