Ingredients
- 1 lb. green beans trimmed
- 3 tbsp avocado oil or other flavorless oil
- 5 scallions finely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- Sauté the green beans in the oil over medium/medium-high until charred on at least one side, tossing occasionally, ~10 minutes
- When cooked, add the scallion whites and garlic. Cook for 5 more minutes, tossing to make sure the green beans are well coated and charred all over.
- Add the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, scallions, and garlic. Cook ~1 minute.
- Serve immediately!
Notes
The more charred the green beans are, the more delicious they will be.
Cook in a cast iron pan for extra char!
Keep a splash guard handy. The green beans will spatter when they hit the oil because of their water content.
