A delightful and quick stir-fry recipe featuring green beans infused with the flavors of garlic and ginger, topped with toasted sesame seeds.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and toast the sesame seeds, stirring occasionally, until golden. Remove and set aside.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan for a nutty flavor.
In the same pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté until fragrant.
Ensure the garlic and ginger do not burn to maintain their flavor.
Add the green beans to the pan and stir-fry for 2 minutes to coat them with the aromatic oil.
Stir constantly to evenly cook the green beans.
Pour in the vegetable stock, cover the pan, and let the beans steam for 6 minutes until tender-crisp.
Covering the pan helps retain the steam for even cooking.
Uncover the pan and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the liquid to evaporate.
Letting the liquid evaporate intensifies the flavors.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the green beans and serve warm.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
