Chinese green beans, or yard-long beans, have a crisp texture and taste delicious when sauteed.

This Chinese green bean saute is not only light and crisp, but it’s also packed with flavor and nutrition. You can find Chinese green beans in farmers markets or at any Asian grocery store.

Fiery Chinese Green Beans Recipe
Ingredients:
1 tbls olive oil
1 bunch Chinese green beans cut in half (or left whole for the full adventure)
1/2 onion
4 cloves garlic
salt to taste
red pepper flakes to taste
Method:
Heat oil in a large non-stick pan. Saute beans for 5 minutes. Add onion, garlic, salt and, red pepper. Cook until desired tenderness is reached.
My preference is caramelized onions and slightly under cooked beans that still pack a little crunch.
