Introduction

My version of Chinese green beans My version of Chinese green beans
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    3 cups green beans (I like to use fresh Chinese Green Beans, but frozen works as well, or regular green beans are ok too)
    3 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
    9-12 cloves of Fresh Garlic (minced garlic in a jar is ok but fresh is always better!)
    5 slices of fresh ginger (more if you like it spicy)
    1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
    1 Tsp Sesame Oil
    2 Tbsp Canola or other vegetable oil

Directions

Makes about 4 servings.

Combine garlic and ginger in a small bowl, cover with soy sauce and vinegar and set aside.

Heat oils together in a wok or on a griddle and sautee green beans on medium heat until they begin to turn bright green (about 3-5 minutes)

Pour garlic mixture over beans and continue to sautee, stirring constantly. When beans are tender or liquid has all cooked down, remove from heat.

Serve over brown or white rice. I usually serve this with my Spicy Peanut Sauce on top for a delicious easy meal. Excellent cold as leftovers or for a picnic.
