Ginger Garlic Green Beans

Green beans cooked crisp-tender retain their vivid color and snap, bringing garden freshness to the table no matter what the season.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon grated peeled ginger
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar (not seasoned)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted

Directions:

Step 1.

Cook beans in a 6-quart pot of boiling well-salted water, uncovered, until just tender, 6 to 7 minutes.

Step 2.

Drain in a colander, then plunge into an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain beans and pat dry.

Step 3.

While beans cook, mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then stir together with soy sauce, ginger, vinegar, and oils in a large bowl.

Step 4.

Add beans and toss. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Total Time: 20 minutes
