Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1/2 lbs green beans (I like to wash and trim the tops and tails off the green beans)
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil (or other high heat cooking oil)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 4 tbsp coconut aminos (or low sodium soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • chilli flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large non-stick pan or wok, add the sesame seeds and dry roast for a few minutes on medium until starting to get fragrant and change colour slightly. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same dry pan, add the green beans. Stir-fry in the dry pan for 3-4 minutes on medium high heat until starting to blister slightly and brown on the outside.
  • Add 3 tbsp avocado oil and 1 tsp minced garlic. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes till garlic starts to get fragrant and the beans are well coated in the oil. Add 4 tbsp coconut aminos and stir fry to coat. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes more.
  • Sprinkle the 1 tbsp sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) on top, stir to combine and serve immediately.
