8 cups fresh green beans
1 tablespoon salt
3-4 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
3-4 cloves garlic, minced (to taste)
6-8 tablespoons soy sauce (to taste)
6-8 tablespoons sugar or honey (to taste)
Sesame seeds
In a large pot, cover green beans with water; add salt and cook until crisp-tender. Immediately drop green beans in ice water to keep them green. In a large skillet, heat toasted sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add green beans; cook and stir until heated through. Add minced garlic cloves; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in soy sauce and sugar or honey until sugar is dissolved. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serves 8.
