Chinese Style Hot and Spicy Green Beans

 

Make these tasty green beans as spicy as you wish by adding more or less hot

chili flakes. The dish is good served hot or at room temperature.

 

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar

2 teaspoons sugar

hot chili flakes to taste

1 pound green beans, trimmed

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

2 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic

 

In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and chili flakes.

Set aside.

Place 1/4 cup water in a large skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Add

the green beans, cover the pan, and cook until the beans are crisp tender, 3 to

4 minutes. Uncover, and drain any water that remains in the pan.

Add the oil, ginger and garlic to the beans in the skillet and cook over medium

high heat, stirring frequently, until the beans are lightly browned, about 2

minutes. Do not let the garlic burn. Add the soy mixture to the pan and cook,

stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and glazes the beans, about 2

minutes.

Transfer to a platter and serve the beans hot or at room temperature.

Serves 6.
