Ingredients
Directions
- 1In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and chili flakes. Set aside.
- 2Place 1/4 cup water in a large skillet and bring to a boil over high heat.
- 3Add 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.
- 4Add the oil, grated ginger, and thinly sliced garlic to the beans in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the beans are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Don't let the garlic burn.
- 5Add the soy mixture to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and glazes the beans, about 2 minutes.
- 6Transfer to a platter and serve the beans hot or at room temperature.
