Instructions
The sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the miso, soy sauce, maple syrup and sesame oil.
The green beans
- Trim the green beans by cutting off the ends. Cut longer green beans in half. Cutting them on a diagonal makes a nicer presentation.
- Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. For skillets, I prefer enameled cast iron because it handles high heat better than nonstick skillets. If using stainless steel, you may need additional oil.
- Once the skillet is very hot, add the avocado oil and heat briefly.
- Add the green beans and stir to coat the green beans with oil. Spread them out in the skillet. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring every 45 seconds or so, until the green beans are slightly blackened and just tender when pierced with a fork.
- Stir in the garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. Take care not to burn the garlic.
- Add the sauce and sesame seeds, and toss to coat the green beans. Remove the heat. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Note 1: Yellow miso can be substituted.
- Note 2: For gluten-free, use tamari. Liquid aminos or coconut aminos can be used for a soy-free option. Also, check the label on the miso to be sure you're using a gluten-free brand.
