Pungent and savory black bean-garlic sauce is the secret ingredient in this ultra-quick stir-fry. I love this recipe for a nice sit down dinner even when I don't get home till later I can still whip it up to go with some grilled chicken. Ingredients:
teaspoon sesame oil |
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces |
pinch of crushed red pepper or to taste |
1/2 cup water |
1 14-ounce can mixed stir-fry vegetables, rinsed, or 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed stir-fry vegetables, thawed |
1 tablespoon black bean-garlic sauce (see ingredient note) |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add green beans and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring often, until seared in spots, 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add water, cover, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes for tender-crisp or 6 minutes for tender.
4. Uncover, increase heat to medium-high, add stir-fry vegetables and black bean-garlic sauce.
5. Cook, stirring often, until heated through and most of the liquid has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
