Vegetables Recipe ‹ 'Chinese Buffet' Green Beans

Every time my family and I go to a Chinese buffet we make a bee line for the green beans! This is a simple and tasty re-creation of that much loved side dish, goes well with any Asian meal. Make sure to slice the garlic, don't use a garlic press. Oyster sauce can be found in the Asian section of your grocery store, at an Asian grocery store, and online.

• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

1. Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the edges begin to brown, about 20 seconds.

Continue cooking and stirring for several minutes until the beans have attained the desired degree of tenderness.
