Green Beans with Peanut Dressing image

One of the only ways I like green beans! This comes from Japanese Home Style Cooking, a book given to me by a girl who lived with us. Prep time includes allowing the beans to stand in the soy sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 lb green beans
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons sugar-free chunky peanut butter
1/2 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • String the beans and cook uncovered in plenty of boiling water until they turn bright green.
  • Do not overcook.
  • Drain, spread out to cool.
  • Cut diagonally into 1 inch (2cm) lengths.
  • Sprinkle half a teaspoon soy sauce over the beans and stand for 10 minutes.
  • Mix the beans into the dressing and serve.
  • DRESSING: Mix the peanut butter, sugar, soy sauce and dashi well.
