These Chinese green beans are a simple and tasty re-creation of the much-loved side dish that goes well with any Asian meal. Every time my family and I go to a Chinese buffet, we make a beeline for the green beans! Make sure to slice the garlic; don't use a garlic press. Oyster sauce can be found in the Asian section of your grocery store, at an Asian grocery store, and online.
