绿豆煮crisp-tender保留其生动color and snap, bringing garden freshness to the table no matter what the season. In this quick Asian-inspired side dish, toasted sesame seeds— along with a dose of sesameoil—:add an aromatic, nutty touch.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Step 1
Cook beans in a 6-quart pot of boiling well-salted water, uncovered, until just tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain in a colander, then plunge into an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain beans and pat dry.
Step 2
While beans cook, mince and mash garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt, then stir together with soy sauce, ginger, vinegar, and oils in a large bowl.
Step 3
Add beans and toss. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Back to TopDelicious and so fresh tasting. My kids find fresh ginger to be spicy but the adults love the flavor.

I make these all of the time with no changes. Literally if I could make all of my vegetables with the sauce I would. It's amazing but it does pack a flavor punch so if you don't care much for ginger, garlic or both tother this might not be for you.

This is a great recipe that I have made several times to rave reviews by all each time. The only changes that I have made were frozen steam bags of beans for convenience and ground ginger for fresh out of necessity.

we didn't care for this recipe. we felt the flavor was too strong for a side dish. we prefer plain steamed beans.

In response to Scrimp01, I only made the sauce early in the day. I cooked the beans at mealtime to they were hot and just tossed on the sauce. sorry for the confusion.

Quick and easy. The ginger adds a new and interesting flavor to green beans.

I love everything about this recipe. It is packed with flavor, easy to make, can be made ahead of time,( perfect for pot luck or entertaining) and is healthy too. Really a delicious side dish.

If you prep beans and dressing earlier in the day should you throw it all on a pan quickly before serving or was this a recipe for cold side dish?

These were perfect as the only spicy dish alongside filet mignon and cauliflower at New Year's Eve dinner. I followed recipe exactly but made it early in the day so all I had to do at mealtime was toss it onto the beans. Kids and adults were munching on the cold leftovers in the kitchen later in the evening.

Even kids that hate beans will devour this in short order. A lovely complex mix of Asian flavors and a superb way to dress up a green bean.

This is quite a tasty dish. It's great for the tastebuds but wicked on the breath! I made it exactly the way it's written and will make it again. The picture doesn't do it justice...it's very pretty.
