For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable bouillon powder for beef bouillon. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a teaspoon of brown sugar or honey to the sauce. To add a touch of heat, sprinkle in a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic. Blanching the green beans before stir-frying ensures they retain their vibrant color and crisp-tender texture. Adjust the amount of soy sauce according to your preference for saltiness.
