Top Green Bean Dinner Recipe
Cooking a delicious green bean dinner is a fun way to add flair to your meal. Try making a stir-fried dish of green beans with garlic and sesame seeds for a flavorful and filling choice. This dish is a great complement to any dinner table since it has bright tastes and a pleasant crunch. First, gather one pound of fresh green beans, making sure they are perfectly cleaned and trimmed. Next, place a skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add some sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and infuse the kitchen with its wonderful scent once the oil is hot. Next up are the green beans, which are swiftly blanched in boiling salted water until they take on a vivid green color and a soft, crisp texture. They get their chance to shine after a quick dip in ice water to maintain their texture and color. The sauce, a delicious concoction of honey, rice vinegar, and soy sauce, gives each bean an enticing layer of flavor. This dish looks as good as it tastes, and you can even garnish it with some sesame seeds for a nutty touch.

Stir-fried Garlic Sesame Green Beans
Components:
- One pound (450 grams) of freshly cleaned and trimmed green beans
- Two tsp of sesame oil
- three minced garlic cloves
- Two teaspoons of soy sauce (you can use tamari if you're gluten free)
- One-tsp. rice vinegar
- One tablespoon honey (or, for a vegan option, maple syrup)
- One spoonful of seeds from sesame
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- Sliced almonds as a garnish are optional, as are red pepper flakes for spiciness.
- To blanch the green beans, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. When the green beans are brilliant green and beginning to soften, add them and simmer for another two to three minutes. To halt the cooking process, drain and immediately place them in a bowl of icy water. After cooling down, remove and reserve.
- To make the sauce, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and a small amount of pepper flakes in a small bowl. Put aside.
- Stir-Fry: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir continually for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add Green Beans: Fill the skillet with the blanched green beans. Stir-fry the beans for two to three minutes, or until they are well cooked and beginning to blister.
- Top it Off: Drizzle the green beans with the prepared sauce. To ensure even coating, stir thoroughly. Cook until the sauce slightly thickens, one to two more minutes.
- Toss the green beans one last time and sprinkle with sesame seeds. If necessary, add more salt and pepper to the seasoning after tasting.
- To serve, move the green beans with garlic and sesame onto a platter. For an added crunch, you can optionally top with chopped almonds.
