What you need

  • 1 lb green beans
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • optional garnish sesame seeds
  • optional garnish red chili flakes

How to make it

  1. Wash the green beans under running water and let them drain in a colander. Once they are completely drained, use a kitchen towel to dry them. Gently pat them dry. Then, trim the rough ends of the beans on both sides.
  2. In a large bowl, add all the seasoning ingredients (sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper) and mix well.
  3. Add the green beans. Toss them well, so they are all coated with the seasoning.
  4. Transfer the seasoned green beans to the air fryer basket. Shake basket to spread the green beans in a single layer.
  5. Set the air fryer to 380°F. Air fry for 6-8 minutes for the perfect texture. Shake the basket halfway through. (Preheating is not required. The cooking time includes preheating time.)
  6. When the cooking time is done, carefully remove the beans from the basket and serve immediately. Optionally, sprinkle some sesame seeds and red chili flakes on top before serving.
