ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • Hot chili flakes to taste
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic

directions

  • 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. 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.

  • 3

    Add the oil, ginger, and garlic to the beans in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the beans are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Do not let the garlic burn. Add the soy mixture to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and glazes the beans, about 2 minutes.

  • 4

    Transfer to a platter and serve the beans hot or at room temperature.
