Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cook Time10 minutes mins
Total Time20 minutes mins
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: Asian
Keyword: Asian green beans, garlic soy green beans, Soy sauce green beans
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 pound green beans ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ⅛ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • black pepper optional

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Add the green beans and blanch until crisp-tender, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking and drain well.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil and butter. When the butter is melted, add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the green beans, soy sauce, and sesame seeds. Sauté until the sauce reduces slightly and coats the green beans. Be careful not to overcook the green beans. Finish with ground black pepper if using.
  • Serve immediately or transfer to a serving dish to keep warm.
