Description
These vibrant green beans are sautéed with garlic and coated in a savory soy and oyster sauce, making them a simple yet flavorful side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, rinsed with ends trimmed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, just until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden.
- Add the fresh green beans to the pan. Cook, stirring regularly, until the beans are tender-crisp and slightly blistered. This should take about 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the light soy sauce and oyster sauce. Pour this mixture over the cooked green beans.
- Continue cooking the green beans for an additional minute, allowing the sauce to coat them evenly and intensify in flavor.
- Transfer the sautéed green beans to a serving plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, choose firm, bright green beans and feel free to adjust the sauces based on dietary needs.
