Asian Style Green Beans

Ingredients

Sesame oil to coat wok or pan
1 lb. green beans — ends snapped
1 clove minced garlic
small piece of fresh minced ginger
1/4 cup water (enough to steam the beans)
Soy sauce to taste

Directions

Heat sesame oil in wok or pan to med/high heat.
Add green beans and stir fry for 3 or 4 minutes
— adjust heat so the beans don’t burn. Add minced
garlic and ginger and stir an additional 30 seconds
or so. Add water, lower heat, cover and let the
beans steam for 2 or 3 additional minutes — stirring
occasionally. Add soy sauce to taste and serve.
Leftovers are tasty cold the following day.
