Peruvian Green Beans

Step 1

Begin by heating your wok or skillet over medium/low heat. I like to use a wok because the shape allows for optimal heating and stir-frying.

Step 2

When the wok is hot, add the sesame oil. When it starts to become fragrant - it won't take long, about 30 seconds - add the onions and cook them until they are translucent and slightly caramelized.

Step 3

Now add ginger, garlic, and red peppers, cooking just briefly so that the ginger and garlic become fragrant and the bell pepper begins to soften.

Step 4

Add the green beans and toss them in the garlic, oil, and ginger. Now let them cook until they are your desired tenderness. We like to keep them a little crunchy so we cook them for only 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 5

At the very end, add soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and salt, cook for another minute or two then remove from heat. (If you want them to be softer, you can absolutely cook them longer.)

Step 6

Serve immediately.
