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
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced ginger
0.25 cup water
0.5 teaspoon white sugar
0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
0.5 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
