LEMON-SESAME GREEN BEANS



Lemon-Sesame Green Beans image

There's a kabob shop in Charlottesville, Virginia, called Sticks and it has wonderful sides, including sesame beans. I love them so much that I had to make my own version. You can use fresh or frozen green beans; haricots verts (French green beans) work well, too.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for green beans that are bright green and crisp. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the stem ends of the green beans. You can also snap the beans in half if you prefer.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the green 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 tender-crisp. Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the sesame sauce: While the green beans are blanching, make the sesame sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and ginger. Set aside.
  • Stir-fry the green beans: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the green beans and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until they are heated through. Add the sesame sauce and stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the beans are evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately: Sesame green beans are best served immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.

Conclusion:

Sesame green beans are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. They are also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
