Savor Chinese Garlic Green Beans—crisp-tender beans stir-fried with garlic and soy sauce. A delicious and easy side dish perfect for any meal.
Fresh green beans, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable oil, red pepper flakes, and chopped scallions.
Trim the ends of green beans and wash thoroughly. Pat dry to ensure they fry up crisp.
In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil and sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add minced garlic to the hot oil. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add green beans to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until beans are tender-crisp and slightly blistered.
Drizzle soy sauce over the green beans. Toss well to coat the beans evenly. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
Continue to stir-fry for another minute to combine flavors. Garnish with chopped scallions for added freshness and crunch.
Serve immediately while the green beans are still crisp and hot. Enjoy as a flavorful side dish with your favorite Asian-inspired meals.
