Instructions

  1. Sauté the beans. Heat a wok over medium-high heat then add the sesame oil. Add the green beans and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Make the sauce and toss with beans. Combine all the sauce ingredients together then pour over the green beans and toss well. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Garnish and serve. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.

Notes

  • Don’t overcooked the green beans. They should be bright green and perfectly tender-crips. Parboiling them is not necessary.
  • Feel free to play with the spices. Different ingredients you can add to the sauce are ginger, red pepper flakes, etc.
  • Customize this recipe to fit your needs. Include other veggies such as mushrooms, baby bok choy, or broccoli.
  • Place cooled green beans in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. You can reheat them in the microwave or in a skillet with a splash of chicken or vegetable broth.
