Ingredients

• 300 grams Green beans
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the green beans, cutting off the stems. Peel and slice the carrots into thin, diagonal rounds or sticks.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to boil, add a pinch of salt, and blanch the green beans and carrots for 3-4 minutes, until slightly tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water until well combined. Set aside the teriyaki sauce mixture.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the olive oil and minced garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Add the blanched green beans and carrots to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the vegetables, stirring constantly to coat them evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the vegetables to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired, and serve warm.
