Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 slices fresh ginger root, minced
1 dried red chile pepper
¾ pound chopped fresh green beans
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful salad, use fresh green beans instead of canned.
  • Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. This will help the beans retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a variety of nuts and seeds in your salad, such as almonds, cashews, peanuts, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds. This will add flavor, texture, and healthy fats to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette is a good place to start, but you can also try a creamy dressing made with yogurt or sour cream, or a tangy dressing made with citrus juice.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Asian green bean salad is a healthy, flavorful, and easy-to-make side dish. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, or weeknight dinners. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious salad that everyone will love.
