Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Start by gathering all the ingredients required for this recipe.
- Measure out all the oil, seasonings, and spices.
- Slice the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger using a grater or finely mince it with a knife.
- Trim the ends of the fresh green beans, removing any tough stems or edges.
Cooking instructions
- Heat the oil in a 10" or larger cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the red pepper flakes, ginger, and garlic. Saute for 30 seconds just until fragrant.
- Add in the green beans and saute for 4-5 minutes until they just begin to soften. Pour in the tamari, vinegar, and erythritol. Bring to a simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce is thick and the green beans are tender.
Chef's pro tip
Avoid overcooking the green beans, as doing so can lead to a mushy texture. SautΓ© them until they just begin to soften, while still retaining a crisp texture. Test for doneness by biting into a green bean to ensure it maintains a slight crunch. This approach will give you perfectly cooked green beans, fitting for an American meal, every time!
