Ingredients
500 g green beans
1 small red bell pepper
1 small red onion, chopped, about 1 1/2 cups
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced (optional)
1 tsp finely minced or grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp butter
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp water
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Trim beans and set aside. Core and seed red pepper, then chop. Place in a bowl. Add onion, jalapeño, if using, ginger and garlic.
Heat butter and oil in a large wide frying pan set over medium heat. Add red pepper mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. If making ahead, remove from heat and leave at room temperature for up to half a day.
Increase heat to medium-high. Stir in beans, water, soy sauce and salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, just until beans are tender-crisp, from 5 to 7 minutes.

Hot jalapeño, sweet red pepper and ginger give crisp green beans an updated twist--and you can prepare them ahead to the point of adding the beans.
