How to Make Asian Style Green Beans

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  2. Immediately transfer the green beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 2 minutes.
  3. Drain the green beans thoroughly.
  4. Heat the sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add the sliced green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  6. Add the green beans and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  7. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the vegetables to heat through.
  8. Stir in the oyster sauce and black pepper. Cook for another 30 seconds, until heated through and the sauce is slightly thickened.
  9. Garnish with slivered almonds, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
