  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the green beans for 2 minutes, drain and keep aside. If using thinner beans like haricot verts, blanch for 1 minute.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add garlic and cook until translucent. 2 minutes.
  3. Add the red curry paste and mix and cook until fragrant . 1 minute.
  4. Add the soy sauce, lemon, lime leaves or zest, water, sugar, cayenne and salt and mix well. Increase heat to medium. Cook for a minute.
  5. Add the green beans. toss to coat. Cover and cook for 3 to 6 minutes or until tender to preference.
  6. Taste and adjust salt, sweet, and spice. I added some red pepper flakes as the curry paste I use is not hot. Serve hot with rice or noodles or cooked grains of choice. The beans can also be garnished with crushed peanuts or almonds and cilantro.

Notes

  • To make this a meal, add some crisped or baked tofu when you add the beans.
