Method

- 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
