INSTRUCTION:
- We can wash the green beans with clean water and then trim the ends of the beans.
- Pat dries the beans with tea towel to eliminate the excess water content from the beans.
- Place the large skillet on moderate flame and pour the oil in the skillet.
- When the oil starts to shimmer then transfer the beans in the skillet.
- Saute the green beans for 5 to 6 minutes till they are bright green and become soft.
- Then include the garlic in the pan & saute them for 1 more minute or till we get a nice aroma.
- After that, we can add the chili garlic sauce to the beans mix them, and cook for more 2 – 3 minutes.
- Add the black pepper powder & salt to season the dish.
TIPS:
- We should properly dry the beans with the paper towel to remove any moisture otherwise it will become mushy if the water is left.
- You should remember that chili garlic sauce is different from sweet chili sauce. Most of them don’t have any carb content but still, we should check the label before buying. The chili sauce is quite spicy so we should include only little amount of it.
- We should utilize fresh green beans in place of frozen beans. A fresh bean gives a nice flavor & texture and becomes crispier than frozen ones.
- Carefully saute the green beans on medium flame so that they can cook evenly but do not get burned or become soggy or mushy.
- If you are making them in large quantities and you have a small skillet or pan then make them in batches & don’t overcrowd the pan as they become soggy.
