Ingredients

  • 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

Step 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.

Step 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.
