Christina's Notes
- Fresh is Best: While frozen green beans are a convenient option, fresh green beans offer the best flavor and texture.
- Quality Spices: Use high-quality chili flakes and other spices to elevate the flavor profile of your dish.
- Heat: Adjust the level of spice to your preference by adding more or less chili flakes or garlic chili paste. To make garlicky chili-garlic green beans, add just the perfect amount of garlic powder.
- Herbs and Spices: Experiment with different herbs and spices, such as fresh garlic, salt and pepper, fresh ginger, green onions or shallots, and sesame oil to create unique flavor combinations.
- Thicken Sauce: If you find that you need to thicken the sauce, use a little bit of cornstarch.
