Sesame Green Beans

Pin It Now!

My favorite sushi restaurant is in Chesapeake, VA and they make the most amazing sesame spinach dish.  I make a spinach dish but also incorporate the flavors into other vegetables like green beans.


Sesame Green Beans
Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 lb green beans, trimmed
1 T rice vinegar
2 t sesame oil
1 t sesame seeds

Instructions:
Place a steamer basket in a large pot with 1 inch of water; bring to a boil.
Add green beans to basket, cover, and cook until tender; about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl mix vinegar and oil.
When beans have cooked through place in a medium bowl.  
Pour vinegar/oil mixture over beans and toss to coat
Top with sesame seeds.

Notes:
Sesame oil is VERY strong.  Add a little bit at a time until you find a taste that you like.
