SAUTEED GREEN BEANS WITH SOY, SHALLOTS, GINGER, GARLIC AND CHILE



Sauteed Green Beans with Soy, Shallots, Ginger, Garlic and Chile image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 scallions, for garnish
1 pound green beans
2 tablespoons peanut or sesame oil
1 small shallot, finely chopped
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1/2 medium red chile, like jalapeno, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare the scallion garnish: Finely slice the scallions on an angle and drop them into a large bowl with ice and water - this will make the scallion threads curl up nicely so they look like ribbons. Set aside.
  • Wash green beans under cold running water. Cut off the root ends and discard. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the beans and blanch until bright green, about 2 minutes. Shock in ice water then drain in a colander.
  • Heat a large wok over high heat. Add the peanut oil, then add the shallots, garlic, ginger and chile. Stir the mixture around so it fries in the oil and gets fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the green beans and toss a couple of times to coat everything evenly. Saute for a couple of minutes so the beans get a little caramelization. Add the soy sauce and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes; the beans should still be nice and crisp. Transfer to a large platter and garnish with drained scallion curls.

FRENCH GREEN BEANS SAUTéED WITH MUSHROOMS AND ALMONDS



French Green Beans Sautéed With Mushrooms and Almonds image

I created this Asian-inspired dish last night. It is permissible for phase one of the South Beach Diet and we LOVED it. I used frozen french beans from Trader Joe's, but fresh beans would be wonderful! Amounts are highly approximated; I didn't measure when making this, but this is pretty similar to what I did. (If using fresh beans, you'd probably want to blanch them in boiling water and then plunge in ice water, and *then* add to the pan.)

Provided by spatchcock

Categories     Fruit

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 -3 garlic cloves
6 large button mushrooms, sliced
1/2-3/4 cup whole almond (more or less to taste and to fit your dieting goals)
1/2 lb frozen French-cut green beans (like those found at Trader Joe's but any would work, including fresh, also, you may want to add more)
soy sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium heat.
  • Sauté garlic until soft, being careful not to let it burn.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they look fairly cooked and shiny (about 5 minutes).
  • Add almonds and sauté for a couple more minutes.
  • Finally, add frozen green beans and splash of soy sauce.
  • Stir frequently until beans are just cooked and, of course, no longer frozen.
  • If not on the south beach diet or watching sugar intake, you could add oyster sauce or other Asian condiment to the mixture.
