Sticky Peanut Green Beans - Low FODMAP, Grain Free, Added Sugar Free
These simple green beans are stir fried and topped with a soy-free peanut sauce while still in the pan. The sauce coats the green beans and gets nice and toasty. So delicious - the perfect side dish!
Servings 4 servings
Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Large wok or frying pan
Ingredients
For the Peanut Sauce (Makes about 3x the amount needed)
- 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon avocado, olive, or peanut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
For Stir Frying
- 1 pound trimmed green beans
- 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
- 2 tablespoons peanut sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine all peanut sauce ingredients and set over medium high heat. Stir as sauce begins to heat and bubble, and peanut butter breaks down. Once ingredients are well incorporated, remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large wok or frying pan on high heat, heat garlic-infused olive oil. Once oil is hot, add green beans and sauté, stirring every minute or so. Cook and stir fry for 8-12 minutes depending on how crispy or soft you like your green beans.
- Turn down heat to medium and pour in 2 tablespoons of peanut sauce. Stir to distribute peanut sauce evenly over green beans. Peanut sauce will start to toast, turning into a deeper brown color. After a minute or two, remove from heat.
- Top and stir through sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If using store-bought garlic-infused oil that is not certified FODMAP-friendly, make sure to use a brand that doesn’t list “garlic oil,” “garlic essential oil,” “garlic essence,” “garlic flavoring,” “natural roasted garlic flavor,” or anything similar in the ingredients list. There’s no way to know whether these ingredients are low FODMAP. More on that in this article on FODMAP Everyday.
