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
