Review AJ's Wok-Seared Sesame Green Beans are yummy

[Guest guest]

I tried these tonight and stir fried some tofu.  This recipe is really

delicious.  I was out of brown sugar, so i used a little molasses and cane

sugar.  Thanks AJ

Wok-Seared Sesame Green Beans

 

 

 

1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed

 

1 1/2 tablespoons oriental sesame oil

 

3 tablespoons soy sauce

 

1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar

 

1 1/2 tablespoons golden brown sugar, packed

 

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

 

2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

 

 

 

Cook green beans in large pot of boiling water until crisp-tender, about 3

minutes. Drain. Transfer green beans to large bowl of ice water to cool. Drain

again. Pat green beans dry. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Wrap green beans in

paper towels and enclose in resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate. )

 

Heat oil in heavy large wok or nonstick skillet over high heat. Add green beans

and stir-fry until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, vinegar,

sugar, and pepper. Stir-fry until sauce reduces slightly and loosely coats green

beans, about 2 minutes longer. Add sesame seeds and toss to coat. Transfer green

bean mixture to bowl and serve.

 

Makes 6 servings.
