- Rinse the beans and place in a microwave safe dish, cover and cook until crisp tender; approximately 3 to 5 minutes depending on the wattage of your microwave.
- Remove beans from microwave, rinse in cool water and allow to drain while preparing the sauce.
- In a skillet or wok, heat the 1 teaspoon oil add the minced shallot and grated gingerroot.
- Cook the shallot and ginger for 2 minutes and then add the soy sauce mixture; stirring until the peanut butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- If using a natural peanut butter, it may be necessary to add a tablespoon or so of water to the pan to aid in making the sauce smooth and creamy.
- Once the sauce is thoroughly combined, stir in beans and warm in sauce.
