Categories     side-dish

Time 15m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
2 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Add the green beans and blanch until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking, and then remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels or a cooling rack to drain.
  • In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the canola oil and butter. When the butter is melted, add the garlic and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the green beans, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and black pepper and saute until the sauce reduces slightly and thoroughly coats the green beans, being careful not to overcook beans.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot.

SAUTEED GREEN BEANS WITH SOY, SHALLOTS, GINGER, GARLIC AND CHILE

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 scallions, for garnish
1 pound green beans
2 tablespoons peanut or sesame oil
1 small shallot, finely chopped
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/2 medium red chile, like jalapeno, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare the scallion garnish: Finely slice the scallions on an angle and drop them into a large bowl with ice and water - this will make the scallion threads curl up nicely so they look like ribbons. Set aside.
  • Wash green beans under cold running water. Cut off the root ends and discard. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the beans and blanch until bright green, about 2 minutes. Shock in ice water then drain in a colander.
  • Heat a large wok over high heat. Add the peanut oil, then add the shallots, garlic, ginger and chile. Stir the mixture around so it fries in the oil and gets fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the green beans and toss a couple of times to coat everything evenly. Saute for a couple of minutes so the beans get a little caramelization. Add the soy sauce and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes; the beans should still be nice and crisp. Transfer to a large platter and garnish with drained scallion curls.

AL DENTE GREEN BEANS IN SOY GARLIC SAUCE



Al Dente Green Beans in Soy Garlic Sauce image

I wanted to make a light, low fat side dish using fresh beans that was similar to a chinese version we like at the buffet. This turned out different but GREAT! The balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and olive oil worked great together. This dish is great hot as a side dish and the leftovers are awesome cold in a salad or just as they are.

1/4 teaspoon sugar
salt

Steps:
