This recipe skips blanching and sends green beans straight to the frying pan, where they get a zippy ginger seasoning and are finished with crispy fried onions.

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp canola oil

  • 500 g green beans, trimmed

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 4 tsp finely minced ginger

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1/3 cup store-bought crispy fried onions

Instructions

  • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high. Add canola oil, then beans. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 10 to 12 min. Add garlic and ginger. Cook 1 more min. Stir in sesame oil and soy.

  • Transfer beans to a platter. Sprinkle with onions.
