Ingredients:
- 1 pound of fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Start by washing the green beans. Give them a little bath, because they’re going to be the stars of the show!
- Next, trim the ends of the beans. We want them looking sharp but not too pointy, alright?
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When it’s shimmering like the disco ball at your favorite dance party, it’s time to move to the next step.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté it until it’s fragrant. Trust me, your kitchen is going to smell amazing right about now.
- Now, toss in the green beans. Stir them around like you’re trying to find the dance partner of your dreams!
- After about 5 minutes, pour in the soy sauce and the honey. Stir well. The sweet and savory combination is going to blow your mind!
- Cook the beans for another 5-7 minutes, until they’re tender-crisp. You want them to have a little bit of a bite, not mushy like that old potato salad from last year’s BBQ.
- Finally, sprinkle those glorious sesame seeds on top, add salt and pepper to taste, and give it one last toss to mix everything together.
- Serve these delicious green beans hot and watch your guests’ eyes widen as they take their first bite. You might even want to double the recipe because it’ll disappear faster than a donut at a staff meeting!
