Asian Style Green Beans
We combine the rich umami notes of coconut aminos (although soy sauce or tamari work beautifully as alternatives), the sweetness of sweet Thai chili sauce, the aroma of fresh garlic, and the subtle nuttiness of sesame oil. It's sweet enough to make your taste buds dance, yet carries a gentle kick of heat that keeps you coming back for more.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos tamari or soy sauce is the alternative
- 2 tablespoons sweet Thai chili sauce
- ¼ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 1 tablespoon water add more if needed
- 340 grams green beans trimmed (12oz bag)
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- In a bowl or mason jar, add all of the ingredients for the sauce. Shake or stir well.
- In a pan on the stove, add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Add in the trimmed and washed green beans. Put the lid on and let them cook for 3-5 minutes on medium-low heat.
- You'll know when the beans are cooked when a knife goes through easily. I like mine cooked but firm. The beans should still have a bite to them and not be mushy.
- If there's any water left in the pan, drain it and add the beans back on the heat. Add in the sauce and stir. If you need to thin out the sauce a bit you can add a touch more water.
- Serve with sesame seeds and hot honey on top. Enjoy!
