Ingredients

  • 4 T butter
  • 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 big pinch dried chilli flakes
  • 300 g green beans, trimmed and cut in half
  • 2 T soya sauce
  • 2 t paprika

Method

Heat the butter to a medium heat in a large pan and drop in the garlic and chilli flakes.

After a minute of stirring them quickly, add the beans and stir-fry them for about 10 minutes.

Now toss in the soy sauce and paprika, and keep cooking for another 5 minutes until all of the moisture has evaporated.

Serve the beans with an extra dusting of chilli flakes, depending on your liking.
