Fiery Wok-Seared Green Beans image

Searing green beans in a dry wok gives them a mild smoky flavor; you can get the same blistered effect with a large cast-iron skillet if you don't have a wok. The chiles in this recipe are sliced and cooked with their seeds - typically the hottest part of chiles - so keep that in mind when deciding how many to use.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound green beans, trimmed
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 red serrano or other spicy chiles, sliced thinly
1 tablespoon white or black sesame seeds (or a mix of both)
1 1/2 teaspoons reduced-sodium tamari

Steps:

  • Heat a wok over high heat until very hot. Add the beans and cook, stirring and tossing, until they begin to blister and brown in spots, 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic, chiles, and sesame seeds, and stir for 1 more minute. Add a few tablespoons of water, cover the wok, and cook until the beans are crisp-tender. Remove the cover and cook until dry. Remove from the heat and stir in the tamari.
