Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 units scallions
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Grate or finely mince the ginger. Thinly slice the scallions for garnish.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, water, and cornstarch until well combined.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Step 5
Add the garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes to the hot oil. Stir fry for 30 seconds, or until aromatic.
Step 6
Add the green beans to the skillet. Stir fry for 5-7 minutes, tossing frequently, until the beans are tender but still crisp.
Step 7
Pour the sauce mixture over the green beans. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 8
Remove from heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
