    List of Ingredients




    1 lb green beans; trimmed
    2 Tbl soy sauce
    2 Tbl water
    1 tsp cornstarch
    1 tsp brown sugar ( I use Splenda)
    1 tsp sesame oil (I omit because I never have any on hand)
    1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
    2 tsp peanut oil (I often use Canola oil)
    1 tsp minced garlic
    1 tsp ginger root; minced
    toasted sesame seeds (optional)

    Recipe



    1. Steam green beans until crisp tender, about 10 minutes.
    2. Run under cold running water. Drain.
    3. Meanwhile, mix soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of water,
    cornstarch, sugar, sesame oil and crushed red pepper in
    a small bowl until the cornstarch is well dissolved.
    4. Heat peanut oil in a large skillet, or wok over medium-
    high heat. Add beans and stir-fry 3 minutes, until beans
    are very hot and start to char in spots. Add garlic and
    ginger root. Continue stir-frying 2 minutes.
    5. Pour in soy sauce mixture. Toss beans constantly until
    beans are evenly coated and glazed, about 1 - 3 minutes.
    6. Toss w/ toasted sesame seeds (just put the raw seeds in a frying pan and toast until brown - NO oil)
    Serve immediately.
    Avidcook’s notes: I use canola oil, substitute Splenda for the sugar, and sometimes omit the sesame seeds. This tastes like the green beans you get in a Chinese restaurant. Yummy
