Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the ends of the green beans by cutting off the stem ends with a knife or kitchen scissors.

  2. 2

    Mince Garlic and Ginger

    Mince the garlic cloves and fresh ginger. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Garlic and Ginger

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Cook the Green Beans

    Add the fresh green beans to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the garlic and ginger mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and slightly tender.

  3. 5

    Add Spices

    Sprinkle the red chili flakes, ground black pepper, and salt over the green beans. Stir to combine. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into the beans.

  4. 6

    Add Soy Sauce

    Pour the soy sauce over the green beans. Toss to ensure that the beans are evenly coated. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the spicy green beans to a serving dish. Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy them as a healthy snack.
