Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound green beans washed & trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1//2 cup chopped roasted peanuts for serving.

Instructions

Fill a large pan with 11/2 inches water and bring to a boil. Blanch green beans for 3 minutes.

While the green beans are cooking grab a large bowl and fill with ice water. Set aside.

Next in a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, honey, and Sriracha. If you love some heat, add another two teaspoons of Sriracha.

After the three blanching minutes for the green beans, drain beans in a colander and then promptly add beans to your icy water bath. ( This halts the cooking process, and leaves you with beautiful green color!) Drain once cool! This is all very quick, so make sure you are ready!

Turn the burner down to medium heat and add your sesame oil to the pan (you can sub other oils, but sesame oil tastes amazing!). Sauté garlic for 30 seconds, the aroma will burst, and smell amazing.

Add blanched green beans to the pan and turn a few times with a pair of tongs to make sure they are coated with the garlic-infused oil.

Add you whisked sauce, turn the beans to make sure coated again, and then simmer uncovered for at least 2 minutes, the sauce will thicken.

Place spicy green beans on a platter and add your chopped roasted peanuts! Enjoy!

Notes

You can add an assortment of vegetables to this dish, think carrots when you are blanching, and water chestnuts and thin-sliced scallions and sliced mushroom while the sauce is thickening. If adding more veggies, double or even triple your sauce quantities.
