Ingredients

• 450 grams green beans
• 6 stalks scallions
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them in half if they are long. Wash and pat them dry.

Step 2

Slice the scallions into 2-inch pieces, separating the white and green parts.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha or chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, and water. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Step 6

Add the green beans to the skillet and stir fry for 5-6 minutes, until they are tender with some charred spots. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

Step 7

Add another teaspoon of oil to the skillet, then toss in the white parts of the scallions, garlic, and ginger. Stir fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 8

Return the green beans to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture. Toss everything together to coat the beans evenly in the sauce.

Step 9

Add the green parts of the scallions and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir fry for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately, either as a side dish or over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
