====== Spicy Szechuan Green Beans ======
When I managed the Extreme Team at Adobe I used to take the guys to lunch every Thursday - we so consistently went to the same place that it was known as "Mike's Chinese".  They had  like a dozen lunch specials - one was spicy Szechuan green beans.  I had that every Thursday for a year or so. This is pretty close - it would be spot on if the sauce was just a tiny bit thicker/stickier - more sugar? maybe a touch of cornstarch?

===== Ingredients =====
  * ½ pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  * ¼ cup water
  * 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  * 2 cloves garlic, minced
  * 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  * 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  * 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  * ½ teaspoon white sugar
  * ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

===== Directions =====
  - Combine green beans and water in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, and sesame oil; cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
  - Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Pour over beans and cook until sauce thickens enough to coat beans, 3 to 5 minutes.
