Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Spicy Garlic Green Beans.
Step 1
Begin by filling a pot with water and bringing it to a vigorous boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, position a steamer basket above the pot and add your freshly trimmed green beans.
Step 3
Allow the beans to steam for about 3 to 4 minutes, until they achieve a vibrant green hue and a tender-crisp texture.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, minced garlic, garlic chili sauce, and honey to create a deliciously aromatic sauce.
Step 5
In a skillet, warm canola oil over medium heat, then introduce the steamed green beans, sautéing them for 3 to 5 minutes until they develop a slight golden-brown color.
Step 6
Next, drizzle the prepared soy sauce mixture over the green beans in the skillet, continuing to cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and nearly evaporates, enveloping the beans in flavor.

Serve these delightful green beans immediately for a fresh and tasty side dish that will elevate any meal.
