Ingredients

8 oz (230g) green beans
1 tablespoon oil
2 cloves garlic finely minced, finely minced
Ground peanuts optional

Peanut Sauce:

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar or to taste
2 tablespoons ground peanut
Salt to taste

Instructions

Cut off the top and bottom points of the green beans, rinsed and set aside.
Add all the ingredients of the Peanut Sauce in the saucepan. Use a whisk to quickly whisk all the ingredients together before transferring to a stove top to heat up on low heat. Continue to whisk the Peanut Sauce until all ingredients are well-combined.
As soon as the sauce starts to bubble, turn off the heat. (If you like the sauce more watery, you may add a little water to dilute it during the cooking process.) Transfer off the heat and set aside.
In a pan, add the oil and saute the garlic until light brown. Add the green beans and keep stirring until they are cooked. Transfer out to a serving plate and pour some Peanut Sauce on top of the green beans and topped with some ground peanuts and serve immediately.
