Notes:
I used fresh green beans. You can substitute 3 cans of green beans, drained. If using frozen, use two pounds of thawed green beans.We didn't think these green beans were spicy. Feel free to adjust the red pepper flakes to your personal preference. You can omit them if you wish.Can add ginger to the sauce.Use gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free dish.You can add chicken or shrimp to make this a one-pan main dish.
