Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound trimmed green beans
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons room-temperature unsalted butter
2 teaspoons miso
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons minced shallot
1 minced garlic clove
1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup vegetable broth or water
sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Cook 1/2 pound trimmed green beans in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes; drain. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool; drain. Whisk 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons room-temperature unsalted butter with 2 teaspoons miso in a small bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beans; season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat. Stir in 2 teaspoons minced shallot and 1 minced garlic clove; cook for 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup sake; cook until almost evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup vegetable broth or water; cook until sauce thickens and reduces by half, about 1 minute. Lower heat to medium; add miso butter and stir until a creamy sauce forms. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans have a crisp texture and a sweet flavor. If you can't find fresh green beans, you can use frozen green beans, but be sure to thaw them before cooking.
  • Trim the green beans: Before cooking, trim the ends of the green beans. You can also remove the strings from the green beans, but this is not necessary.
  • Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked green beans will be mushy.
  • Use good quality miso paste: The quality of the miso paste will affect the flavor of the dish. Look for a miso paste that is made with whole soybeans and has a rich, savory flavor.
  • Don't overcook the miso butter: The miso butter should be cooked until it is melted and combined, but it should not be browned. Overcooked miso butter will be bitter.

Conclusion:

Miso butter green beans are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The miso butter adds a rich, savory flavor to the green beans, and the toasted almonds add a crunchy texture. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
