See below ingredients and instructions of the recipe

Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

6 Garlic cloves, peeled 1 ts Hot red-pepper flakes
2 Quarter-sized slices ginger 1 tb Soy sauce
2 Scallions, cut in 2" lengths 1 tb Rice wine vinegar
1 tb Vegetable oil 1 lb Green beans, tipped/tailed

Peel garlic and ginger. Smash garlic. Trim scallions and cut into 2"
lengths (don't be fancy, the next step is a food processor). Place garlic,
ginger, and scallions into a food processor and process until finely
chopped. Remove to a 14x11x2" dish. Add oil and pepper flakes. Cook in
microwave, uncovered, at 100% for 3 minutes.

Remove from microwave and stir in remaining ingredients, tossing gently to
coat green beans. Cook, uncovered, at 100% for 10-15 minutes, stirring 4-5
times.

Serve hot or cold.

Notes: This recipe takes only a tablespoon of oil for a pound of green
beans. I have used half that with good success. These are good cold for
picnics or between meal snacks.
