Pro tip: Blanch and shock green beans. This method allows you to lightly pre-cook the beans in boiling water and immediately stop the cooking process by shocking them in ice-cold water, preventing them from overcooking and retaining all the beautiful greenness of the beans.
-
Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large stock pot. Season the water with a large pinch of salt.
-
Once the water is boiling, lightly place green beans in the boiling water. Mix occasionally, cooking for approx. 5 mins. The green beans should be lightly cooked but still crunchy.
-
Have a large bowl ready filled halfway with cold water and ice cubes.
-
Remove green beans from the pot with tongs and place them into the ice bath. Mix them around, and once fully cooled, drain into a colander and pat dry with a cloth.
-
Heat a large sauté pan to medium heat. Add oil. Add shallots, mixing frequently, and sauté for 1 min until they become translucent.
-
Toss in green beans and sauté for 3-5 mins, stirring occasionally.
-
Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 more min, toasting the garlic and ginger lightly until they become fragrant.
-
Season the beans with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Add Plant Bomb Thai almond and lightly coat the whole mixture. Heat for another 1-2 mins and remove from heat.

Place the Green beans in your favorite serving dish, Garnish with sesame seeds and toasted almonds and Enjoy!
