Whilst the beans are cooking, crush the garlic, finely grate the ginger and thinly slice the scallion. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over a low/medium heat and add the ginger and garlic. Sweat gently for a minute or two until tender.
Step 3
Add the green beans to the pan with a pinch of salt and pepper and stir well to coat in the ginger and garlic. Cook for a minute or two more until hot through.

Roughly chop the cilantro and stir through the beans to serve.
