EASY SESAME GREEN BEANS

I found this at allrecipes.com and have made it a bunch of times this summer with beautiful green beans. Even my bf who doesn't care for green beans will eat this! The recipe says you can also try it with broccoli instead of the beans. (Sometimes I use more chicken broth, just depends on how fast you want them done, and more or less flavor.)

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 lb fresh green beans, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add sesame seeds. When seeds start to darken, stir in green beans. Cook, stirring until the beans turn bright green. (I never notice a "bright green" color, I just cook about 10 minutes or so.).
  • Pour in chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook until beans are tender-crisp, about 10 minutes. (I like mine much more done -- about 30 minutes!) Uncover and cook until liquid evaporates. You can serve these hot like normal, but I even like these babies cold! ;-).

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: To ensure the best flavor and texture, choose fresh green beans that are crisp and brightly colored.
  • Trim the beans properly: Before cooking, remove the tough ends of the green beans by snapping them off. You can also trim the beans into smaller pieces if desired.
  • Blanch the beans: Blanching the beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps to preserve their green color and crisp texture. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then, immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special, so be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and complements the green beans. The recipe included in the article uses a simple sesame sauce made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey, but you can also use other sauces, such as a garlic sauce or a ginger-soy sauce.
  • Serve immediately: Sesame green beans are best served immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and crispy. You can garnish the dish with sesame seeds, chopped nuts, or fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Sesame green beans are a quick and easy side dish that is packed with flavor. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual gathering. With their bright green color and crispy texture, these beans are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give sesame green beans a try!
