I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

PF Chang's Spicy Green Beans

This restaurant copycat recipe is an easy, spicy side you'll want to make over and over!  I used frozen beans to save a little time, but you can always use fresh for sure.


Ingredients:
750g bag (1 1/2 lbs) frozen, thawed green beans (or fresh trimmed)
2 green onions, sliced thinly
1 tsp red pepper flakes
4 tsps minced garlic
2 tbsps sesame oil
sesame seed to garnish

Sauce:
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 tbsps low sodium soya sauce
1 tbsp rice or white wine vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup water

1/4 tsp cornstarch


First mix all the sauce ingredients, except the cornstarch, together and set aside.

Heat sesame oil in a wok or large skillet on medium high. Add the green onions, garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring for 30 seconds. Then add the green beans and stir together, cooking 3-4 minutes to heat through, a little longer if fresh. Push the beans to the outside of the pan making a well in the center. Add the cornstarch to the sauce and pour into the well. Bring to a boil then stir together with the beans. Cook 2-3 minutes. 
Serve topped with sesame seeds.

Serves 6-8
