Are you looking for a way to make your veggies irresistible? Look no further! This Thai-inspired sauce is one of my all-time favorites, especially for green beans and broccoli. It's so versatile that you can easily transform it into a complete meal by adding chicken, tofu, or shrimp, and serving it over rice or more veggies. Let's dive into this delicious recipe!


⭐️ Green Beans in Thai Sauce ⭐️

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil, divided

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 lb green beans, ends trimmed & rinsed

  • 1 Tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce

  • 2 Tbsp peanut butter or almond butter

  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar

  • Splash of sriracha or hot sauce

  • ¼ cup water

  • Salt, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Skillet: In a large skillet over medium heat, add ½ Tbsp of sesame oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for a few seconds until the garlic is toasted but not burnt.

  2. Cook the Green Beans: Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry until they start to brown slightly.

  3. Make the Sauce: While the green beans are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a bowl, combine the remaining ½ Tbsp sesame oil with coconut aminos or soy sauce, nut butter, grated ginger, rice wine vinegar, hot sauce, and water. Stir well to ensure the nut butter is fully incorporated into the sauce.

  4. Combine and Simmer: Once the green beans are almost cooked through, lower the heat and pour the sauce into the skillet. Stir to coat the beans evenly. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the beans are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened.

  5. Season and Serve: Taste the dish and adjust the seasonings as needed. Serve the green beans with your choice of protein and a side of rice or additional veggies for a complete meal.

Tips:

  • For Extra Crunch: Add some chopped peanuts or cashews on top before serving.

  • Spice Level: Adjust the amount of sriracha or hot sauce to suit your spice preference.

Enjoy this delightful and nutritious dish that makes veggies taste great! Your taste buds will thank you. Happy cooking!
