Chinese Style Firecracker Green Beans


2 tablespoons soy sauce


1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar


2 teaspoons sugar


Hot chili flakes to taste


1 pound green beans, trimmed


1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil


2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger


2 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic








In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and chili flakes. Set aside.








Place 1/4 cup water in a large skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Add 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.








Add the oil, ginger, and garlic to the beans in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the beans are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Do not let the garlic burn. Add the soy mixture to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and glazes the beans, about 2 minutes.








Transfer to a platter and serve the beans hot or at room temperature.Firecracker green beans recipe?
The best thing you can do, in preparing fresh green beans, no matter what recipe you're using, instead of water in you initial boiling, use chicken broth and water, about half and half. It gives them an incredible amount of flavor.
