I ate this entire tray of green beans the moment after capturing these photos. These green beans taste indulgent with their sweet & spicy garlicky sauce yet are a healthier alternative to sweet & spicy noodles. They pair well as a side but can also be served as a main course for something a bit lighter.

Sweet & Spicy Garlic Green Beans

1 pack green beans

2 tbsp sweet chili sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp sriracha

1 tsp mince garlic

1/4 tsp ginger

Salt & pepper to taste

Sliced toasted almonds

Steam green beans for 3 minutes or so (until green and cooked but slightly firm still). While they steam, whip up the sauce with the remaining ingredients. Once green beans are steamed, put into a sauté pan with the sauce, cook on medium high heat until sauce has thickened and is sticking to the beans, season with salt & pepper to your liking. Remove & served with sliced toasted almonds on top.
