These Szechuan green beans taste wonderful and are almost as good as takeout Chinese green beans! Their spicy flavor is wonderful with ham and a baked yam.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • ½ pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • ¼ cup water

  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • ½ teaspoon white sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Combine green beans and water in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender-crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, and sesame oil; cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is fragrant and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

  2. Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Pour over beans and cook until sauce thickens enough to coat beans, 3 to 5 minutes.
