Ginger Carrot And Sesame Green Beans Recipes

SOY-AND-SESAME-GLAZED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water and set aside.
• Meanwhile, whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until smooth.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic, ginger and sesame seeds and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are golden and tender, about 3 minutes. Add the green beans and soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until the soy mixture thickens and glazes the green beans, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar.

SESAME & GINGER GREEN BEANS

GREEN BEANS AND CARROTS WITH GINGER AND CHILES

Steps:

• Trim the beans and cut into 1-inch pieces. Peel the carrots and cut into 2-inch lengths, then cut each piece lengthwise into quarters and halve these.
• Finely chop the green chilies. Peel the ginger and cut into paper-thin slices. Stack a few slices together at a time and cut them into minute dice. If using fresh galangal, peel and dice it in the same way. Peel and finely chop the garlic and shallots.
• Set a wok over a high heat and swirl in the oil. When the oil is hot, put in the chilies, ginger, galangal, garlic, shallots, and curry (or bay) leaves. Stir and fry briefly until the spices start to brown.
• Add the green beans, carrots, and salt. Stir and fry for 1 minute. Pour in 3/4 cup water and cover with a lid. Turn the heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.
