How to Make Thai Style Green Beans
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
- Set aside.
- Rinse 1 pound of green beans and place them in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, or until crisp-tender (cooking time will depend on your microwave's wattage).
- Remove beans from the microwave, rinse under cool water, and drain well.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat. Add 1 minced shallot and 1 tablespoon grated ginger.
- Cook the shallot and ginger for 2 minutes, then add the soy sauce mixture from step 1.
- Stir constantly until the peanut butter is melted and the sauce is smooth. If using natural peanut butter, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to achieve desired consistency.
- Add the drained green beans to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro and 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts (optional) before serving.
