String Beans With Garlic Hoisin Sauce Recipes

STRING BEANS WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Blanch the string beans in a large pot of boiling salted water for just 1 1/2 minutes. Drain immediately and immerse in a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When they are cool, drain and set aside.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a very large saute pan over medium heat and cook the garlic for 1 to 2 minutes, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned. Add the string beans, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss together. Reheat the string beans and serve.

Steps:

• Heat both oils in a large nonstick fry pan or wok at medium-high. Cut beef into thin short strips, against the grain. Add beef to pan, toss and sauté slightly for 5 minutes.

• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, fish sauce, sweet chili sauce, hoisin sauce and chili paste. Stir to combine.
• (Add mixture of cornstarch and water if desired to thicken).

• Spread beans in an even layer on a baking sheet with sides and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are soft and slightly shriveled.
• Sprinkle beans with chives and toss gently. Transfer to a serving dish, drizzle with pan juices, and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
