Copycat P.F. Chang's Spicy Green Beans
I do adore the Spicy Green Beans at P.F. Chang’s, but don’t adore the price -- try this fresh green bean alternative!
Servings 4
Ingredients
- ¾ lb fresh green beans
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1.5 tablespoon minced garlic
- Crushed red pepper, to taste
For the sauce
- 1 teaspoon chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use gluten free if necessary)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
- ½ teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Wash and trim green beans, then cut them into fairly even pieces.
- In separate bowl, mix green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and sugar.
- In large pan or wok, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat, then add garlic.
- Saute about 30 seconds, then add green beans and crushed red pepper.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green, stirring often.
- Stir in sauce and cook just until heated through, then serve.
Notes
Do be sure just to cook them crisp-tender in order to let the fresh green bean flavor really shine through. These are gluten free if you use GF soy sauce or tamari.
