'Chinese Buffet' Green Beans

Description: From allrecipes.com, but I need to post it here for safekeeping, because this recipe is amazing! I had to cook my beans longer than I thought to get them soft enough for my taste. So you might give yourself a little more time, depending on how you prefer your beans!

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon peanut oil or 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce

Steps:

1. Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Stir in the garlic, and cook until the edges begin to brown, about 20 seconds.
3. Add the green beans; cook and stir until the green beans begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the sugar, oyster sauce, and soy sauce.
5. Continue cooking and stirring for several minutes until the beans have attained the desired degree of tenderness.
