This spicy Sichuan green bean recipe is almost as good as takeout Chinese green beans. It tastes wonderful with ham and a baked yam. I modified the recipe to be less oily.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Ingredients
¼ cup water
½ teaspoon white sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon minced ginger
½ pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
