Ingredients

14 oz green beans ends trimmed
6-8 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon butter unsalted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
½ teaspoon red chili flakes optional
3 tablespoon water to help cook green beans
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

Wash and trim the pointy hard ends of green beans. Optional: feel free to chop them into smaller segments.
In a wok or large skillet on medium heat, melt butter and add vegetable oil to prevent the butter from burning.
Once butter has melted, add minced garlic and fry for 10 seconds. Then stir in red chili flakes for 5 seconds.
Mix in green beans. Once mixed, add water. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes for desired texture (6 minutes for crisp beans and 8 minutes for softer beans). Toss occasionally.
Season with sesame oil and salt. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage
These garlic spicy green beans will last up to 4 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, pan fry on the stove or microwave for 2-3 minutes until hot.
