Time 27m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs green beans, trimmed or 1 1/2 lbs chinese long beans, trimmed and cut into smaller lengths
1 1/2 tablespoons oriental sesame oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons golden brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Cook green beans in large pot of boiling water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain.
  • Transfer green beans to large bowl of ice water to cool. Drain again.
  • Pat green beans dry. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Wrap green beans in paper towels and enclose in resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate.).

  • Add green beans and stir-fry until heated through, about 2 minutes.

  • Transfer green bean mixture to bowl and serve.

This recipe was a complete failure. The green beans were burnt, and the sauce was inedible.
