Provided by zeldaz51

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb small fresh string bean, ends trimmed
1 tbsp.dry toasted sesame seeds, ground to a paste
2 tablespoons miso (white or yellow)
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons mirin
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest (optional)
1 additional tbsp dry toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Steam beans 12 minutes or until crisp-tender, OR cook in boiling salted water 3 to 5 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and plunge into iced water to cool 10 minutes. Drain again and pat dry. To cut the beans, fit a food processor with slicing blade. Trim beans to fit feed tube horizontally. With lid in place, stack beans in feed tube, then push beans through feed tube with food pusher while motor is running. OR, cut beans diagonally into 2-inch lengths with a sharp knife.
  • Add miso, sugar,mirin, lemon juice, soy sauce, and optional lemon zest to ground sesame seeds. Gently toss mixture with prepared beans. Garnish with a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds before serving.

Tips:

  • Prepare Beans Properly: Before cooking, inspect and clean the string beans for any damaged or discolored parts. Trim the ends and remove any strings if necessary. Soaking the beans for 30 minutes prior to cooking can help reduce cooking time.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Choose vegetables that are firm and brightly colored, and make sure your spices and seasonings are fresh and flavorful.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Taste the dish as you cook and add more salt, pepper, or other seasonings as needed. You can also add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for a bit of brightness.
  • Don't Overcook the Beans: String beans should be cooked until they are tender but still retain a slight crunch. Overcooked beans can become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an added pop of color and flavor.
  • Serve Warm: String beans are best served warm. If you have leftovers, they can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat.
  • Explore Variations: Feel free to experiment with different variations of the recipe. You can add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or corn. You can also use different types of beans, such as black beans or chickpeas.

Conclusion:
