Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
1 pound green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
3 medium shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped peeled ginger
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water and set aside.
Meanwhile, whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until smooth.
Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic, ginger and sesame seeds and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are golden and tender, about 3 minutes. Add the green beans and soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until the soy mixture thickens and glazes the green beans, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar.
