Spicy Green Beans
Slightly Adapted from the Paupered Chef
Click here for Nick’s picture tutorial of the process.
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 pound green beans
4 scallions
3 medium cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon of Sriracha (more or less depending on your tolerance level) I use more because I like them spicy!
*Note-Make sure everything is prepped and ready to go before tossing anything in the pan. It will take just a few minutes to cook everything. It will go by quickly.
1 .Combine the soy sauce, white vinegar, sugar, Sriracha and red pepper flakes in a bowl and whisk until combined.
2. Mince the garlic, and cut the scallions however you see fit. I like the diagonal cut, but that’s just me.
3. Place the iron skillet over high heat for at least 5 minutes.
4. When everything is chopped and ready, toss in the oil, swirl until it coats the bottom of the skillet, and add the green beans. Cook until they are tender, about 4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds or so. It will look like you’re murdering them, but be patient. It will work.
5. Dump in those neatly cut scallions and cook until they are gnarly. About another 4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
6. Add the garlic and cook just until it becomes fragrant, about 5 to 10 seconds. Then add the soy sauce mixture. Cook for another 20 seconds or so, and then turn off the heat, and plate.

Do I need the scallops? Because I don't have much time to go to the store right now

I meant scallions but my stupid phone wrote scallops instead

I made this with a few changes! I didn't add the vinegar, I used brown sugar instead of white, I used olive oil, and I changed the scallions to 3 tablespoons of onion (or more), 2-3 tablespoons of Sriracha . It turned out fabulous!! Thanks for sharing! It is a hit! I will be using it all the time now!! Yumm!! I LOVED IT!
