Recipe Summary Quick Sesame Green Beans

This is my interpretation of the green beans from my favorite Japanese restaurant. Serve with a grilled steak! You can omit the miso paste if you choose.

Ingredients | Japanese Restaurant

8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed

2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

½ tablespoon miso paste

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root

1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

Place the green beans into a steamer insert and set in a pot over one inch of water. Bring to a boil, cover and steam for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer beans to a serving bowl.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, miso paste, red pepper flakes, garlic and ginger. Pour over the green beans and toss to coat. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add sesame seeds and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly toasted.
