Total Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsps sugar
2 tbsps soy sauce
16 oz green beans
2 tbsps garlic
2 tbsps ginger, grated

Instructions

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

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

3. 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.

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