Figuring out how to make your favorite restaurant dishes at home, is actually pretty simple, but does take some work to get it just right. I am excited to have finally perfected the Copycat PF Chang’s Spicy Green Beans.

This is the best Copycat PF Chang's Spicy Green Beans recipe! It's the perfect side dish and done in less than 10 minutes!

Not only do you know what you are putting into these Copycat PF Chang's Spicy Green Beans when you make it at home, but you also save lots of unnecessary calories and you save money! At the restaurant these cost over $10 for the plate, which at home it costs less than $3 to make them!

Pair these with my favorite Air Fryer Asian Chicken Wings (crispy & sticky), Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps (One Pot) or Mongolian Chicken for the perfect dinner!

Copycat PF Chang's Spicy Green Beans are so easy to make:

  • It takes 1 minute to whip up this sauce, and then only a few minutes to actually cook the green beans.
  • The longest part is actually trimming and cutting the green beans. I like to cut them into about 2 inch long pieces, but it’s really up to you how you cut them. 
  • This dish yields a lot of sauce, too, so it would be perfect to serve these as a side dish over rice, or make baked chicken and top with the green beans and sauce.

    1 tsp of red pepper flakes makes this pretty darn hot, honestly. Good recipe, but it’s fire.

      You can definitely reduce it if it's too spicy for you!

    Yummy recipe! A hit with my entire family and super easy. But the post is an AWFUL maze of ads. The worst I’ve come across on Pinterest. If there was a “jump to recipe” button I couldn’t find it. I would never subscribe for more of the barrage. Good grief.

    This recipe is nothing like PF Chang's spicy green beans! First off, their green beans have a tempera coating and they are not just in a spicy sauce. Very disappointed with this recipe.

      You are thinking of their tempura green bean appetizer which you can see these green beans are not deep fried with a batter. This is a copycat for their chili-garlic green beans which I guess you haven't tried.

      There’s two different kinds of green beans. A tempura and this one. And this is the better of the two.

    This is one of my favorites at PF Changs! I have not found a recipe close enough to the actual dish, until now! Wow!! It probably turned out even better than at the restaurant. I am forever keeping this in rotation at our house.
