Steps:
- Cut off the top and bottom points of the green beans, rinsed and set aside.

- As soon as the sauce starts to bubble, turn off the heat. (If you like the sauce more watery, you may add a little water to dilute it during the cooking process.) Transfer off the heat and set aside.
- In a pan, add the oil and saute the garlic until light brown. Add the green beans and keep stirring until they are cooked. Transfer out to a serving plate and pour some Peanut Sauce on top of the green beans and topped with some ground peanuts and serve immediately.

GREEN BEAN AND TOFU SALAD WITH PEANUT DRESSING
Inspired by the combination of peanut sauce with vegetables in southeast Asia, found in dishes such as gado gado in Indonesia and summer rolls in Vietnam, this streamlined salad would work just as well as a vegetarian main dish to eat with rice or noodles. The green beans are cooked for only a short while so that they stay crunchy. If you prefer floppy beans, you can cook them longer. And if you want something more refreshing and don't want to turn on the stove, you can skip the beans altogether and use cut-up cucumbers and tomatoes instead.

Steps:
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, stir the peanut butter, hoisin, lime juice, sugar and red-pepper flakes in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons boiling water from the saucepan to the peanut dressing and stir well. The dressing should be runny but still thick. If needed, stir in another tablespoon boiling water.
- Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until brighter in color and just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well, rinse under cold water until cool, then drain again. Transfer the green beans and tofu to the peanut dressing and stir gently until evenly coated. Season to taste with salt, then sprinkle with more red-pepper flakes. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
FRISEE WITH FRENCH BEANS AND SPICY PEANUT DRESSING

- Thaw green beans in a colander and pat dry to remove excess water. Clean frisee and cut into bite sized pieces and set aside.
- In a food processor, add the jalapeno, garlic, ginger and scallions. Process and add the sesame oil to form a paste. Transfer paste to a large bowl and whisk in cream of coconut. Whisk in peanut butter; gradually whisk in water until consistency is a smooth, thick sauce. Whisk in hoisin, soy sauce and cilantro. This recipe will make more dressing than you need for the salad; reserve extra dressing in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for other uses.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the green beans: Trim off the ends of the beans, where the stem was attached. You can also remove the strings from the beans if desired, but this is not necessary.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the peanut dressing: While the beans are blanching, make the peanut dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and ginger. Blend until smooth.
- Toss the green beans with the peanut dressing: Drain the green beans and pat them dry. Place the beans in a large bowl and add the peanut dressing. Toss to coat the beans evenly.
Conclusion:
Green beans with peanut dressing is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The beans are crisp and tender, and the peanut dressing is creamy and flavorful. This dish is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty side dish, give green beans with peanut dressing a try!
