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
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 seeds, 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.
