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.

SHALLOT SAUTEED GREEN BEANS
Sautéing the green beans with shallots after blanching make this dish a delicious alternative to just steaming or boiling. Toss in some cooked, crumbled bacon or sauteed mushrooms to add your own flair. Great with mashed potatoes and fried chicken, or add some sesame oil and pair with steamed rice.

This is great to make at Thanksgiving...it tastes as good at room temperature as it does when it is hot, so you can move it off the stove to make room for more cooking! It's also quick to make, so its perfect for weeknight dinners. From Southern Living, but altered to my tastes.

Steps:
- Fill a large bowl with ice water, and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add salt. Add half the beans, return to a boil, and cook until bright green and just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, plunge beans into ice water to stop the cooking. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining green beans. (Blanched green beans can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.)
- For shallot-garlic green beans: Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes. Add green beans, raise heat to medium-high, and cook until heated through and beginning to brown in places, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt. Serve immediately.
- For Asian-style green beans: Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add green beans, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add chili paste and sugar, and stir until well coated. Season with salt. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Pick green beans that are fresh, crisp, and have a deep green color. Avoid beans that are limp, bruised, or have yellow or brown spots.
- Trim the green beans by removing the stem ends. You can also cut the beans into smaller pieces if desired.
- Use high-quality olive oil for sautéing. Olive oil has a delicate flavor that will not overpower the green beans.
- Shallots add a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish. If you don't have shallots on hand, you can substitute a small onion.
- Garlic adds a savory flavor to the dish. Use fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor.
- Lemon juice brightens the flavors of the dish. Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
- Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for this dish. Season to taste.
- Serve the green beans immediately after cooking. They are best enjoyed when they are still hot and crisp.
Conclusion:
Sautéed green beans with shallots is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. The green beans are crisp and tender, the shallots are sweet and flavorful, and the lemon juice adds a bright, refreshing touch. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for any meal.
