Chopped Chili Garlic Green Beans

Chopped Chili Garlic Green Beans bring bright heat and umami to crisp-tender beans with chili crisp, soy, garlic, and a pop of lime. The zingy, garlicky sauce lightly coats each bite, balancing spice, salt, and citrus. Great alongside grilled meats or fish, it’s delicious served warm or chilled for a fresh, punchy side.

Chopped Chili Garlic Green Beans
  1. 1

    Warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and green onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the green beans turn bright green and develop slight charring, about 5 minutes. Season with the lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, sugar, and salt, and keep cooking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes; take off the heat.

  2. 2

    Add the chili crisp, lime zest, and sesame seeds to the green beans and toss thoroughly before serving. Serve right away or chill before serving.
