Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.

Sprinkle in the crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are cooked to your liking.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt or pepper as per your preference.
