Tips for Making the Best Spicy Sautéed Green Beans:

- **Choose fresh, tender green beans.** Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are wilted, bruised, or have brown spots. - **Trim the green beans before cooking.** Cut off the ends of the beans and remove any strings. - **Sauté the green beans over high heat.** This will help them to blister and develop a slightly charred flavor. - **Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet.** This will help to prevent the beans from sticking. - **Add a little bit of oil to the pan before cooking the beans.** This will help to prevent them from sticking and burning. - **Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp.** This should take about 5-7 minutes. - **Season the green beans with your favorite spices.** Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. - **Serve the green beans immediately.** They are best enjoyed hot and fresh. ###
