## Ingredients

- 1 Lbs fresh green beans trimmed
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 8 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp Sesame oil
- 0.25 cup soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tbsp sugar or honey
- 2 small lemons zested and juiced
- Salt
- sesame seeds or chili flakes

## Instructions

1. Prep a bowl of ice water and boil your water at the same time.
2. Take all the green beans and boil them in the water for about 7 to 8 minutes until they still have that beautiful green color and a slight crunch but are soft to the bite.
3. Throw the green beans directly into the ice water and let them sit there to stop the cooking process.
4. Zhoosh up your peeled garlic with a little avocado oil until it's a watery texture but you still see pieces of the garlic.
5. Heat your biggest frying pan, add oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
6. Once shimmering, add green beans in a single layer and let sit undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes until blistered.
7. Toss and repeat once more.
8. Add garlic directly to the pan and cook and toss for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
9. Remove green beans to a serving bowl.
10. In the same dirty pan, add sesame oil, soy sauce, and coconut sugar.
11. Mix it just until the sugar melts.
12. Pour the sauce on top of the green beans.
13. Zest all the lemon peels into the green beans.
14. Juice the two full lemons and add the juice to the green beans.
15. Salt it up and mix it all together.
16. Serve immediately.
