How to Make Chinese Green Beans
- Wash and trim 1 pound of green beans.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 inch of minced ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the green beans and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until they begin to tenderize but still retain some crunch.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional).
- Pour the sauce over the green beans and toss to coat evenly.
- Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the beans.
- Remove from heat and garnish with 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds (optional).
- Serve hot and enjoy!
