    Green Beans have always been a classic side dish. We love making them different ways from the Classic Green Bean Casserole to amazing Parmesan Garlic Green Beans they make an awesome side dish.

    Green beans go great with chicken, beef or pork! One thing about green beans are, sometimes you just need to change them up!

    Adding a different flavor profile or some seasonings can really change up your classic green bean side dish.

    I hope you all enjoy these Asian inspired green beans!

    Garlic Asian Green Beans Ingredients:

    • Green Beans (fresh or frozen)
    • Vegetable Oil
    • Soy sauce
    • Garlic (minced)
    • Ginger (ground)
    • Rice vinegar
    • Brown Sugar
    • Water
    • Salt
    • Sesame seeds (optional for topping/garnish)

    ingredients for garlic Asian green beans

    How to make Garlic Asian Green Beans:

    Step one: Warm oil in a large skillet and add in green beans to cook on medium heat.

    Step two: In a mixing bowl whisk together all remaining ingredients. Pour this over green beans and cook until green beans are tender.

    Step three: Serve warm and topped with sesame seeds.

    Types of Green Beans:

    • Fresh: When using fresh green beans make sure to rinse and trim first. Fresh green beans will take longer to cook if you want them very tender. If you like very tender green beans then I suggest you boil them for 3-4 minutes first them place them on a skillet to crisp.
    • Frozen: I used frozen green beans for this recipe that I allowed to partially thaw. Once they are somewhat thawed then you can add them to the skillet and follow the directions.
    • Canned: I suggest not using canned green beans for this recipe. I find they don't get have the same taste or texture that fresh or frozen does.

    Can I use frozen green beans:

    If you are using frozen green beans you will want to allow them to sit out or rise with lukewarm water and pat dry. Frozen and thawed green beans will take close to 10 minutes to cook while fresh green beans could take 15.
