Categories: Vegetables, Low-cal
Yield: 4 servings

12 oz Fresh green beans
1/2 c Chicken broth
1 ts Finely chopped ginger root
1 sm Clove garlic, finely chopped
1/3 c Thin sliced water chestnuts
1 ts Soy sauce
Freshly ground pepper

Slice the green beans and water chestnuts ahead of
time, but cook just before meal time. Serve
tender-crisp and piping hot. Thin, fresh asparagus
spears can be substituted for green beans.

Wash and drain green beans. French-cut in half
lengthwise; set aside. Combine chicken broth, ginger
root and garlic in a frypan; bring to a boil. Add
green beans and water chestnuts. Sprinkle with soy
sauce. Cover tightly and steam 7 to 8 min until
tender-crisp. If moisture has not dried off, remove
cover, raise heat briefly and shake pan to evaporate
remaining liquid. Season to taste with pepper.
