Wok-Seared Sesame Green Beans

 

1 1/2 lbs. green beans, trimmed

1 1/2 tbsps. oriental sesame oil

3 tbsps. soy sauce

1 1/2 tbsps. rice vinegar

1 1/2 tbsps. packed golden brown sugar

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

2 tbsps. sesame seeds, toasted

 

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

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

Heat oil in a heavy large wok or non-stick 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 mixture to a bowl and serve. Serves 6.
