Tips:

  • Trim the beans: Remove the ends of the beans and then cut them into 1-inch pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Blanch the beans: Blanching the beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes will help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Sauté the beans: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beans and cook, stirring frequently, until they are tender and slightly browned. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season the beans: Season the beans with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a splash of soy sauce or rice vinegar for extra flavor.
  • Serve the beans: Sautéed green beans can be served as a side dish or as a main course. They can also be used in salads, soups, and stews.
