Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil peanut or sesame
  • 2 shallots diced (about 4 tbsp)
  • 6 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ tsp dry ginger
  • Sea Salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a large, heavy pan, heat oil until shimmery.
  • Add shallots and garlic, sitr frequently to prevent burning.
  • When shallows and garlic have browned slightly, add green beans and toss.
  • Cook about 8 minutes, until green beans start to soften.
  • Deglaze pan with rice wine, stir well.
  • Add sauces and ginger, mix.
  • Taste to see if the dish needs any salt (do check- or it might get too salty).
  • When green beans are as soft as you'd like them, remove and plate!
