GREEN BEANS WITH SESAME-MISO DRESSING



Green Beans with Sesame-Miso Dressing image

Green beans (or almost any other vegetable for that matter) gain an exciting twist from this miso-based dressing. You can find miso (see page 123) at well-stocked supermarkets and Asian markets; red miso (which is actually brown) is most often used in this dressing, but you can also use white. If you cannot find miso, see the variation, which is worth trying in any case.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Salt to taste
1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch
lengths
1 tablespoon sugar or honey
1 tablespoon mirin, sweet sake, or other sweet wine
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (page 596)
3 tablespoons miso, preferably red

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Cook the green beans just until tender, about 3 minutes, drain, and rinse under cold water (better still, plunge them into a bowl of ice water) to stop the cooking. Drain again and set aside.
  • Whisk the sugar into the mirin until it is dissolved; stir in the sesame seeds and miso until well combined. Toss with the green beans until well coated, then serve or let stand for up to an hour before serving.
  • Substitute 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon honey for the miso.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans for the best flavor and texture.
  • Trim the ends of the green beans before cooking.
  • Blanch the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes to retain their vibrant color and crisp texture.
  • Make sure to rinse the green beans with cold water immediately after blanching to stop the cooking process.
  • Prepare the sesame miso dressing ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Use high-quality sesame oil and miso paste for the best flavor.
  • Garnish the green beans with sesame seeds and sliced scallions for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Green beans with sesame miso dressing is a healthy and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of crisp green beans, creamy miso dressing, and toasted sesame seeds creates a dish that is both satisfying and delicious. This recipe is also versatile and can be easily adapted to your own tastes. For example, you can add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or carrots, to the dish. You can also adjust the amount of miso paste in the dressing to taste. No matter how you choose to prepare it, green beans with sesame miso dressing is a surefire hit.
