Directions
Step 1
Wash the green beans thoroughly and dry them completely to ensure they blister properly during cooking. Prepare the garlic by mincing it so it releases maximum flavor when added to the pan.
Step 2
Heat oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and stir-fry them, allowing them to sear and develop slight char marks. Continue tossing for several minutes until they become tender yet remain crisp.
Step 3
Add the garlic and cook briefly, stirring constantly so it does not burn. The aroma should become strong and fragrant, coating the beans evenly.
Step 4
Add soy sauce and mix well to coat all the beans.
Step 5
Sprinkle sugar, salt, and chili flakes evenly.
Step 6
Stir continuously so the sauce thickens and clings to the beans.
Step 7
Cook for another few minutes until the flavors are fully absorbed and the beans appear glossy. Remove from heat and let them rest briefly before serving to allow the seasoning to settle.
