Creating PF Chang’s Spicy Green Beans is straightforward with these easy steps:
1. Prepare Green Beans: Rinse and trim the green beans, ensuring they are fresh and crunchy.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sauté Garlic and Ginger: Add minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
