tarragon

🥗Healthier: dill

💰Cheaper: parsley

Dill offers a similar flavor profile, while parsley is more economical.

Heat a cast iron pan until it's smoking hot.

Add green beans to the hot pan without any oil or seasoning to char them.

While the green beans are charring, prepare sliced garlic (2 cloves).

Add sesame oil to the pan with the green beans after they start to char.

Add sliced garlic to the center of the pan once the beans are starting to blister.

Season with black pepper and a touch of salt, being cautious not to over-salt due to the soy sauce.

Allow the garlic to toast until golden brown, then mix it with the green beans.

Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard for flavor.

Pour in dark soy sauce to season and keep the beans steaming.

Add sweet soy sauce for sweetness, mixing well to combine all flavors.
