Ingredients
- 150 grams fresh green beans
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans, cutting off the ends. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Slice the jalapeno pepper into thin rings, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.
Step 3
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sliced jalapeno. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 6
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the oil and aromatics.
Step 7
Stir in the soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Step 8
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid to steam the green beans for 3-4 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water has completely evaporated and the green beans are tender-crisp.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve immediately as a side or enjoy on its own.
