Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm, or chill for a refreshing cold dish.
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.
