Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt heavily, and add the green beans. Cook for 4 minutes (3 minutes for haricot verts), then drain and rinse in cold water.
Heat up large pan or wok with on medium high heat.
Add the oil and green beans and toss to coat.
Add in the sliced garlic and soy sauce and stir to combine. Continue to cook on medium high heat until you begin to see the edges of the green beans begin to char, about 4 minutes.
