Crispy and savory green beans sautéed in sesame oil with garlic and ginger, inspired by Chinese buffet favorites.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Blanching the green beans: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the green beans until they are bright green and just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process, preserving their vibrant color and crunch.
  2. Sautéing aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Combining flavors: Add the cooked green beans to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and honey (or sugar) and toss everything together to coat the beans evenly. Allow them to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Garnishing for perfection: Sprinkle with sesame seeds, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.

Notes

These green beans can be paired with grilled chicken, stir-fried tofu, or a hearty bowl of rice. They also store well in the fridge for up to three days.
