• 2 tsp chili powder

Faux Wok-Style Chinese Green Beans

This is probably my favorite thing to make these days. This recipe is my own, and is inspired by those amazing Szechuan wok-fried string beans you can get at chinese restaurants!

Level: Medium
Taste: SO GOOD

Ingredients

• However many green beans you would like to make.
• Crushed garlic
• Low-sodium soy sauce
• Crushed chili flakes
• Cayenne

1) Cut your green beans while you heat some olive oil on high heat. 

3) Throw the beans in the pan and stir around until everything is nicely coated in olive oil. 

4) Add a couple dashes of cayenne and chili flakes (to taste), and 1/2 tsp of crushed garlic for every 1 cup or handful of green beans (mix thoroughly). 

5) While the pan is on medium-high heat, pour in a couple of splashes of water and immediately put the lid on. This will help steam-cook the beans. 

6) After a few minutes, add 1tbsp of soy sauce for every 1 1/2 cups of green beens. Put the lid immediately back on. 

7) Cook everything until the water and soy-sauce has reduced into a carmelized-like thick sauce and the beans are cooked. I almost like to cook the beans until they are slightly blackened, but, that's up to you!
