Dry Fried Green Beans

I love this green bean recipe with beans picked fresh from the garden.  It's so simple... the perfect side dish with lunch.  It's one of those recipe with a pinch of this and a pinch of that.

Dry Fried Green Beans
(inspired by Serious Eats, check out the original recipe here.  Mine is simplified)

Green beans, snipped, of some amount
Vinegar, a splash (rice wine vinegar is nice)
Sesame oil
Sugar, just a light sprinkle
Salt, a few shakes
Garlic, chopped
Ginger, chopped
Red pepper flakes

Heat a frying pan over med-high heat, add beans, stirring frequently, almost constantly for a few minutes.  They'll blister.  Add a splash of vinegar, then a glug of sesame oil, and a sprinkle of sugar and salt.  Add pepper flakes, garlic and ginger now, if using.  Turn burner down to medium, cook just another minute.  Serve hot.
