Ingredients

1 lb Green beans, trimmed
3 cloves Garlic, minced
0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
1 tbsp Soy sauce (or tamari for GF)
1 tsp Sesame oil
1 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add green beans and stir-fry for 4-6 minutes, until crisp-tender and slightly blistered.

Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing to coat the green beans evenly.

Remove from heat and stir in fresh chopped cilantro. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve hot as a vibrant side dish.
