Why You’ll Love These Green Beans
This sauce is sweet, spicy, and addictive thanks to a mixture of coconut aminos (soy sauce or tamari work beautifully too), sweet Thai chili sauce, fresh garlic, and nutty sesame oil.
Additional Tips for Green Beans
Now, for the optional yet highly recommended finishing touch: a drizzle of hot honey, which adds a sweet, fiery kick. And don’t forget a sprinkle of sesame seeds. These Asian-inspired green beans are sure to become a mealtime favorite.
Variations and Substitutions
For this Asian Style Green Beans, there are many ways to customize and adapt the recipe to your taste preferences or dietary needs.
Use tamari or soy sauce instead of coconut aminos (if you’re making this gluten-free, go with tamari). Leave out the hot honey for a less spicy version. Use sugar snap peas instead of green beans. Add toasted sesame seeds for a stronger sesame flavor.
Best Served With
For a simple meal, team these green beans up with a protein like my chicken recipe and a bowl of steamed jasmine rice. Try them with my Teriyaki Salmon Skewers. The green beans would make a fantastic addition to my Crispy Salmon & Rice Bowl with Spicy Mayo. Serve these green beans as a side with The Best Grilled Salmon Skewers. These would be delicious in my Healthy Shrimp Bowl, adding a burst of flavor and crunch. Pair these with my Single Serve Sushi Bake for a balanced meal. You could also pair this with veggie or chicken fried-rice.
