A delightful twist on classic green beans, featuring a zesty garlic and chili kick.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
Adding a pinch of salt to the water enhances the beans' flavor.
Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes until crisp-tender.
Blanching helps retain the beans' vibrant color and crisp texture.
Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
This step ensures the beans remain crisp and bright green.
Heat the chili oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the garlic and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat with the oil and aromatics.
Ensure all beans are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then serve warm.
Taste before serving to adjust seasoning as needed.
