   • In a large pot of rapidly boiling water, cook green beans until just tender, approximately 4-5 minutes.

2. Prepare Soy Sauce Mixture:

   • While the beans are cooking, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, granulated sugar, and minced garlic; set aside.

3. Drain Beans:

   • Drain the cooked green beans and set them aside.

4. Prepare Skillet:

   • Spray a wok or a 10-inch skillet with nonstick cooking spray and place it over medium-high heat.

5. Cook Garlic:

   • Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until softened, for about 20-30 seconds.

6. Add Green Beans:

   • Add the drained green beans to the skillet and cook, stirring and turning constantly, until well coated, for about 2 minutes.

7. Incorporate Soy Sauce Mixture:

   • Pour the soy sauce mixture over the green beans in the skillet.
   • Continue to stir and turn until most of the liquid is absorbed, approximately 1-2 minutes.

8. Serve Hot:

   • Once the green beans are tender and coated with the savory sauce, remove from heat and serve immediately.

Tips:

• For a hint of heat, add a dash of red pepper flakes or sriracha to the soy sauce mixture.
