- Add flavorings: Green beans can be seasoned with a variety of flavors, such as garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, or chili peppers.
- Serve green beans as a side dish or main course: Green beans are a versatile vegetable that can be served as a side dish or main course. They can also be added to salads, soups, and stews.
