Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fresh green beans washed and trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Gochujang Korean fermented chili paste or sriracha, more if desired
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions for serving (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a bowl, toss the green beans with the canola oil (1 tablespoon) and salt and pepper (to taste).
  2. Heat a grill pan until flaming hot and add the green beans. Or, add the green beans to a grill basket and place on a medium-hot charcoal or gas grill. Grill until green beans get some nice charred color and are slightly soft, tossing occasionally (5-10 minutes, depending on how hot the grill is).
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise (1/2 cup), gochujang (1 tablespoon), soy sauce (1 teaspoon), and toasted sesame oil (1/8 teaspoon).
  4. Serve green beans tossed with the gochujang mayo and topped with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

  • Don't have a grill or grill pan? No problem! You can sautè the green beans or roast them as an alternative.
  • Have leftover gochujang mayo? Use it on sandwiches, on eggs, tacos, or as a dip for fries.
  • Variation: try using broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, or other veggies in place of the green beans.
  • The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
