Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans, removing any tough ends. Pat the beans dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and water. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Step 3
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Swirl the oil to coat the surface.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the wok. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Step 5
Add the green beans to the wok. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, tossing frequently, until the beans are bright green and starting to soften.
Step 6
Pour the sauce mixture over the green beans, and add the red chili flakes if using. Toss to coat the beans evenly in the sauce.
Step 7
Continue stir-frying for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the beans to reach your desired tenderness.
Step 8
Remove the wok from heat and transfer the green beans to a serving dish.
Step 9
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the green beans as a garnish and serve immediately.
