Nice switch for the bean, make it as mild or as hot as you want. You can make this a veggie dish with a Chinese meal but I can assure you it has not seen China
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb green beans, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- crushed red pepper flakes (, mild is just a sprinkle)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seed, toasted,garnish
Directions
1
Steam beans for only a few minutes, you want them crisp.2
Dash beans in cold water to stop the cooking (do this the day ahead if you wish) Heat the oils and saute,over low heat, the garlic& ginger until you can smell that wonderful aroma (the garlic will be golden) Add beans, pepper flakes,soy and water.3
Cover cook over high heat for a few minutes until the water evaporates and the oils have coated the beans and they are hot Shake the pan as the beans cook.4
Garnish with sesame seed.

One of my favorite items on the buffet at a Chinese restaurant is the green beans. These beans are very similar to the beans at the Chinese restaurant. I followed the recipe exactly and loved taste of these beans. A great change of pace from the usual green beans. Thanks for sharing!

Exactly what I was looking for! This really is a nice twist on a widely forgotten vegetable. Even my little sis liked them. My one complaint was not enough soy sauce. I used two tablespoons and still would have liked a little more. Still, a great dish.

Delicious! These beans are a lovely change from the ordinary! So glad I had sesame oil on hand - it really makes a difference! The "heat" was awesome! Don't change a thing!
