Upon returning to Berkeley after spending 3 months away, I was unable to buy everything I needed to fully restock my apartment, so what was originally intended to be Szechuan Green Beans turned into this. I was quite pleased with the outcome.
1 lb. Green Beans
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes, or to taste
1. Sauté onions and garlic until slightly browned.
2. Add green beans and sauté for a few minutes.
3. Add soy sauce, broth, and chili flakes. Cook until beans are done, but still have some crunch.
4. Serve as a side dish or with rice for a light dinner.
