Green Beans with Spicy Peanut Sauce

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb green beans (, tough ends removed)
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened natural peanut butter
• 1 to 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon light soy sauce ((or soy sauce))
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1 clove garlic (, grated)
• 2 teaspoons chili crisp

Steps

1. 1

   Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and simmer until beans are cooked through but still crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, then run cold tap water over the beans to stop cooking. Drain again and set aside.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of water, light soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic. Mix well. The sauce should be able to coat a spoon but not too thick. If needed, add more water to thin it out. Pour the sauce onto the green beans. Add the chili crisp over the sauce.

3. 3

   Serve at room temperature. Mix well before eating.
