For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a finely chopped chili to the garlic and ginger. If you don't have black bean sauce, you can substitute it with a mixture of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and a touch of sugar. Blanching the green beans for 2 minutes before stir-frying can help to maintain their vibrant color and crisp texture. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice and grilled chicken or tofu.
