Ingredients
-
1
pound green beans, trimmed
-
1
tablespoon olive oil
-
5
garlic cloves, minced
-
1/4
teaspoon red pepper flakes
-
2
pinches salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 1/2
teaspoons soy sauce
-
1
teaspoon ginger powder
Directions
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add generous amount of salt and add green beans. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat for about 2 minutes. You want it to get pretty hot by itself. Add oil and coat the pan. Add the green beans and saute for about 2-4 minutes, or until they start to brown.
- Make a well in the center of the skillet and add garlic, ginger powder, and red pepper flakes. Slowly start to incorporate the green beans, until everything is well mixed.
- Stir in soy sauce and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve fresh and hot as a great side or snack!
