Stockmancatdoo Shares His Recipe For Sesame Ginger Green Beans

Today's recipe comes from Gamesviller Stockmancatdoo who wanted to share his delicious Sesame Ginger Green Beans. Here's what he had to add about his creative dish, "Take a wok on the wild side with this simple & healthy culinary treat that’s sure to awaken your taste buds with lots of explosive sweet, nutty & spicy flavors. This dish goes especially well with a side of brown or jasmine rice topped with a tangy orange Asian (bottled) dipping sauce, add a few sprigs of cilantro to the rice for added color and flavor.  It’s just the right meal for that serious gamer that wants to eat healthy and keep their playing edge while battling spunky foes in Magic 21." Here's what you'll need to put together this Asian creation:

Ingredients:

• 3 Handfuls of green beans, trimmed
• 1 Clove of garlic, finely diced
• 6 Green onions finely diced, bottom 3”
• 3 tbsp Diced white onions and celery mixed
• 3 tbsp Peanuts
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 3 tbsp Sesame ginger glaze
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 1 to 2 tsp Black ground pepper
• 1 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp Corn starch mixed with 1 tsp cold water, whisked together

Instructions:

Trim the tips off of the beans at an angle, rinse thoroughly under cold water. Add the beans to a pot of boiling water and cook for 2-4 minutes depending on how crunchy or tender you want your beans to be. Remove the beans from the boiling water and immediately drop them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry and wrap in a paper towel and put them to the side. Combine the sesame ginger glaze, soy sauce, Hoisin sauce and honey in a small bowl. In a small separate cup whisk together the corn starch with 1 tablespoon of water.
 
Heat 2 tablespoons of Canola oil and pepper flakes in heavy large wok or nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Reduce heat down to medium; add green beans, stir or semi-toss (careful) completely coating beans with oil for two minutes. Add the combined sauce ingredients then immediately add corn starch slurry; stir-fry until sauce reduces slightly and loosely coats green beans for approximately 2 minutes.

Full prep and cool time: 20-30 minutes prep and 4 minutes cook time
