Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • pan
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

Green Beans

  • 8 oz green beans
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • Ground peanuts optional

Peanut Sauce

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons ground peanut
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Trim the ends of the green beans, rinse them, and set aside.
  • Add all the peanut sauce ingredients to a saucepan. Use a whisk to mix everything together quickly before placing the pan on the stovetop over low heat. Continue whisking the sauce until the ingredients are fully combined.
  • As soon as the sauce starts to bubble, turn off the heat. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add a little water to dilute it while cooking. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a pan, add the oil and sauté the garlic until it turns light brown. Add the green beans and stir continuously until they are tender. Transfer to a serving plate, pour some peanut sauce over the green beans, and sprinkle with ground peanuts. Serve immediately.
