Ingredients

Salt to taste
1 pound green beans, washed, ends snipped off
1 to 2 tablespoons mustard oil (see note)
1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds (see note; if unavailable, use yellow mustard seeds)
1 bunch scallions, white and pale green parts, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Steps:

Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste and the beans. Cook until the beans are tender but still firm, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In large skillet, heat the oil with the mustard seeds. As soon as seeds begin to pop, about 2 to 3 minutes, add the scallions. Saute for 20 seconds, then add the beans, tossing them until the oil is evenly distributed.
Add the cilantro and toss again. Taste for salt and serve.
