A different response: One cup of fresh green beans with a bit of water takes about 3-4 minutes to cook in a microwave oven. Increase time by about 2 minutes for each cup of beans, checking frequently for done-ness. Canned green beans only need about 2 minutes to warm 2 cups with a bit of liquid.
SautÃ© the beans: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add green beans and cook, stirring often, until the beans are bright and glossy, 5 to 7 minutes. Season the beans: Add the garlic and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Steam the beans: Add the water and immediately cover. Cook covered until the beans are bright green and crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve: Add the red pepper flakes, if using, and serve immediately.
