🧂 Ingredients

1 pound Green beans

ends trimmed
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
2 cloves Garlic

minced
1 tablespoon Honey
1 tablespoon Sesame oil
1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

for garnish

Instructions

1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch them
for 2 minutes. This will help to retain their vibrant green color and crisp
texture. Drain the beans and set them aside.
2 In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, and sesame
oil. This will create the flavorful glaze for the green beans.
3 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green beans to the skillet
and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4 Pour the soy glaze over the green beans and continue to cook for an additional
2-3 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp and the glaze has thickened
slightly.
5 Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the green beans to a serving dish.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
6 Serve the soy-glazed green beans immediately as a side dish to your favorite
main course. Enjoy!
