- 12 oz fresh green beans trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt to taste
- fresh ground pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup water

Method

- Pour water in skillet and add green beans. Season slightly with salt and pepper and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes
- The water will mostly evaporate, but if there is a remainder, please drain
- Add olive oil and garlic and ginger. Sear quickly until golden, then throw in the beans. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes
- Grate the orange zest (I do this over the pan directly but a good trick is also to grate over a paper towel). Add to pan

- Squeeze orange juice into pan
