What goes in

• 1 pound fresh or frozen green beans
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced thin
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

How it comes together

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the green beans in the boiling water until bright green and tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and immediately put the green beans in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over a moderate burner and drizzle olive oil. Sauté the red bell pepper and onion, about 2 minutes, then add in the green beans. Sauté the green beans with the peppers and onions about 5 more minutes or until green beans start to soften and blister.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic and pour sauce over top of veggies in the skillet. Cook an additional 2 minutes making sure everything is coated, remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
