Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

coarse salt
2 lbs green beans, trimmed
1 cup unsalted peanuts
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain again and refrigerate.
  • In a food processor, pulse the peanuts until coarsely chopped. Reserve 1/3 cup of the peanuts for garnish. Continue pulsing the remaining peanuts until finely chopped.
  • Add the vinegar, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, oil, 2 tablespoons of hot water and 1 teaspoon of salt to the peanuts and blend until the dressing is almost smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl several times.
  • Toss the green beans with the dressing. Sprinkle the reserved chopped peanuts over the top just before serving.
