Spicy Garlic Green Beans is a popular Chinese dish that combines fresh green beans with spicy and savory flavors. The dish is typically made by stir-frying fresh green beans with garlic, soy sauce, and spicy chili peppers. The dish can be served as a side dish or a main dish with rice.
To prepare spicy garlic green beans, the green beans are first washed and trimmed. The garlic is chopped and the chili peppers are sliced. Then, a wok or a large skillet is heated with oil and the green beans are stir-fried until they start to blister and turn slightly brown. The garlic and chili peppers are added and stir-fried until fragrant.
Finally, a sauce made of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and cornstarch is added to the wok and cooked until thickened. The green beans are then tossed in the sauce until coated and heated through. The dish is garnished with sesame seeds and chopped scallions before serving.
