Ingrédients

1 pound green beans, trimmed

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Heat a large pot of water to a boil, and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet, tossing to coat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Pour the mixture over the green beans and toss to combine.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and red pepper flakes, tossing once more. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the beans are heated through.
Serve immediately as a side dish or over rice for a simple main course.
