Spicy Green Beans
I needed an easy Asian side dish recipe for dinner, and I found green beans in the fridge, so I made this spicy green beans recipe. These tasty green beans were spicy, which we loved, and we enjoyed the flavor from the soy butter combination. These spicy green beans disappeared quickly and paired nicely with Asian chicken wings and sesame noodles with sautéed shiitake mushrooms and kale.
Spicy Green Beans
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp butter
- ¼-½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes, more if desired
- 6 oz thin green beans (haricot verts), trimmed & washed
- White pepper, to taste
- Ground ginger, to taste
- 1 large clove of garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
How to Make Spicy Green Beans
Heat the butter and crushed red pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the washed and trimmed green beans (or haricot verts) to the pan, then season with white pepper and ground ginger to taste.
Cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes or until fork-tender.
Add the minced garlic and soy sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes. I used thin haricot verts, but if you use bigger green beans, add more cooking time. Side Note: Add a tablespoon or two of water if the pan is dry.
Serve immediately. Enjoy.
