Dry sauteed green beans

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
5 teaspoons Peanut oil or canola oil
1 clove Garlic, peeled & minced
1 teaspoon Minced gingerroot
1 pounds Green beans (2\" pieces)
1 teaspoon Oriental sesame oil
½ teaspoon Salt (optional)

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a wok or skillet. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry the ingredients for 30 seconds. 2. Add the green beans, and stir-fry them over high heat for 2 to 4 minutes. 3. Add the sesame oil and salt (if desired), toss the ingredients to coat them, and serve the beans. Preparation tip: The beans are supposed to be tender-crisp and shriveled or even charred a bit on the outside. If you like tenderer beans, cover the pan after adding the sesame oil and salt, and continue cooking the beans for a few minutes over moderately low heat.
