Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Fill a large pan with about 1 inch of water, and bring it to a rapid boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once the water is boiling, carefully add the fresh green beans into the pan and blanch them for 3 minutes.
  3. Prepare a large bowl filled with ice water while the green beans are blanching. Then, shock the green beans in the ice water for 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. In a medium-sized bowl, combine low sodium soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha. Whisk until blended.
  5. Drain the cooled green beans and set aside. Heat sesame oil in the pan over medium heat.
  6. Add minced garlic to the hot sesame oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Introduce the blanched green beans to the pan, tossing to coat them in the garlic oil. Pour in the prepared sauce.
  8. Allow to cook uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
