Ingredients

  • 2 cans Green Beans 14½-ounce cans; drained and patted dry with a paper towel.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced

  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
  • Salt To taste
  • Ground Black Pepper To taste

Instructions

  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the sesame and canola oil until shimmering and a drop of water flicked into the pan pops and sizzles right away.
  • Add the green beans, garlic, and red pepper flakes to the frying pan and stir fry on medium-high heat for 4-7 minutes, or until the green beans are starting to get charred and the garlic is a deep golden brown.
