Chinese Style Hot & Spicy Green Beans

Zutaten

• 2 tl sugar
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 el soy sauce
• 2 tbsps garlic
• 16 oz green beans
• 2 tbsps ginger, grated

Anleitung

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and chili flakes. Set aside.
2. Place 1/4 cup water in a large skillet and bring to a boil over high heat.
3. Add the green beans, cover the pan, and cook until the beans are crisp tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover, and drain any water that remains in the pan.
4. Add the oil, grated ginger, and thinly sliced garlic to the beans in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the beans are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Don't let the garlic burn.
5. Add the soy mixture to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and glazes the beans, about 2 minutes.
6. Transfer to a platter and serve the beans hot or at room temperature.
