Green beans cooked crisp-tender retain their vivid color and snap, bringing garden freshness to the table no matter what the season. In this quick Asian-inspired side dish, toasted sesame seeds— along with a dose of sesameoil—:add an aromatic, nutty touch. 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:
1. Cook beans in a 6-quart pot of boiling well-salted water, uncovered, until just tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain in a colander, then plunge into an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain beans and pat dry.
2. 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.
3. Add beans and toss. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.
