2. Steam the Green Beans
   In a steaming setup, steam the green beans with a pinch of salt on high heat for about 5 minutes, just until they are tender but still retain a nice crunch. Once done, drain the beans and run them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

3. Sauté Aromatics
   Heat a tablespoon of oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Once the oil is warm, add the finely chopped ginger, garlic, and spring onion greens. Sauté these ingredients until fragrant, letting the aromatics release their flavors.

4. Season the Beans
   Add the honey, salt, soy sauce, and red chili sauce to the pan, stirring well to combine. Then, add the steamed green beans and toss them on high heat for about 3-4 minutes, ensuring they’re evenly coated with the sauce and aromatics.

5. Adjust Seasoning
   Taste the dish and adjust the salt or seasoning if necessary.

6. Serve
   Remove from heat, and your Gan Bian Dou Jiao is ready to serve! Pair it with Chinese Sichuan fried rice or Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice for a complete, satisfying meal.

Enjoy this flavorful and slightly spicy Sichuan appetizer that celebrates the vibrant taste of green beans with a touch of sweetness and spice!
