Categories : Vegetables


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 teaspoons Peanut oil or canola oil
10 milliliters Garlic -- peeled & minced
1 teaspoon Minced gingerroot
1 pound Green beans (2" pieces)
1 teaspoon Oriental sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon Salt (optional)

1. Heat the oil in a wok or skillet. Add the garlic and ginger, and
stir-fry the ingredients for 30 seconds.

2. Add the green beans, and stir-fry them over high heat for 2 to 4=
minutes.

3. Add the sesame oil and salt (if desired), toss the ingredients to coat
them, and serve the beans.

Preparation tip: The beans are supposed to be tender-crisp and shriveled or
even charred a bit on the outside. If you like tenderer beans, cover the
pan after adding the sesame oil and salt, and continue cooking the beans for
a few minutes over moderately low heat.
