Prepare green beans by adding 2 tsp. of sesame oil to a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add in 1 ½ Tbsp. of minced garlic, ¼ tsp. of Szechuan peppercorns, ½ lb. of blanched green beans, and toss in the pan to cook evenly.
Add in 1 tsp. of chili crisp, 1 tsp. sesame seeds, ¼ cup of Teriyaki sauce, and 1 Tbsp. of low-sodium soy sauce.
Cook just a couple of minutes until the sauce starts to come together and the green beans pick up a little bit of color. Plate on a serving platter.
Toss 8 oz. of freshly fried Sauceable Nuggets in a mixing bowl with ¼ cup of the Mandarin Orange Soy Glaze and top the Garlicky Green Beans.
Garnish the appetizer with 1 Tbsp. of chili crisp, 1 tsp. sesame seeds, and 2 Tbsp. of sliced scallions.
