Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the green beans. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor. To toast the walnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown.
  • Make the sauce: The sauce for this dish is simple but flavorful. To make the sauce, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and ginger in a small bowl.
  • Combine the ingredients: Combine the blanched green beans, toasted walnuts, and sauce in a large bowl. Toss to coat the beans and walnuts in the sauce.
