Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans
- 4 medium-sized garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 60 milliliters water
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the ends off the green beans. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Add the prepared green beans to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly in the garlic-flavored oil.
Step 6
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the green beans steam for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they begin to soften but still retain a slight crunch.
Step 7
Uncover the skillet and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, letting the water evaporate completely while stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter, soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper (and chili flakes, if using). Stir well to evenly coat the green beans in the glaze.
Step 9
Continue to sauté the green beans for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly and stick to the beans.
Step 10
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the garlic-glazed green beans to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish.
