Equipment

wok

Ingredients

2 tablespoons water for steam
1 pound green beans
1 tablespoon olive oil
2-3 cloves chopped garlic
1/4 cup sliced almonds (we like a lot)
garlic salt add to taste

Instructions

Trim and wash the beans, chop garlic, and measure the other ingredients.
In a wok, or large skillet add the water and green beans. Place a lid on top. On med high heat steam for 5 minutes.
Remove the lid, and drain any extra water. You will want the beans to be firm, and not soft. They will continue to cook with the next steps.
Set pan back on the heat and add the olive oil, garlic, sliced almonds, and salt. Using tongs toss the beans so they're well coated with olive oil and seasoning.
Cook until the garlic and almonds start to brown and turn crisp. For about 5-7 minutes. (check for your desired texture) Remove from heat and enjoy!
