Thai Sweet Green Beans image

We are in love with Thai sweet chili sauce. I find myself adding it to many things, especially vegetable dishes. In the summertime when we have a lot of green beans from our garden, this is one of the recipes I do frequently. Try it! It's yummy!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 Tbsp canola oil
4 clove garlic, sliced thinly
2 lb green beans, trimmed
1/3 c thai infused broth (or chicken or vegetable broth)
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 c thai sweet chili sauce (such as mae ploy)
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in large skillet with lid over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add garlic and pepper flakes and saute for 30 seconds till fragrant.
  • 2. Add the beans and toss to coat with oil. Cook, tossing occasionally until they begin to get brown in spots.
  • 3. Add broth and soy sauce, cover skillet and let cook 3-4 minutes.
  • 4. Remove lid and add sweet chili sauce and salt to taste. Cook another minute or so tossing to coat the beans with the sauce. You're looking for the beans to be crisp-tender. When they are, transfer to serving bowl and serve immediately.
