Easy & Quick Recipe

With our simple recipe, you can have Firecracker Green Beans on your table in no time. All you need is Fresh green beans, soy sauce, honey, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Start by blanching the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. In the meantime, mix the soy sauce, honey, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a small bowl. Put the green beans in a skillet or wok, add the sauce, and toss everything together until the beans are coated evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the beans are tender but still crisp. That's it! Serve immediately and enjoy.
