-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 Garlic cloves, peeled
2 Quarter-sized slices ginger
2 Scallions, cut in 2" lengths
1 tb Vegetable oil
1 t Hot red-pepper flakes
1 tb Soy sauce
1 tb Rice wine vinegar
1 lb Green beans, tipped/tailed

Peel garlic and ginger. Smash garlic. Trim scallions
and cut into 2" lengths (don't be fancy, the next step
is a food processor). Place garlic, ginger, and
scallions into a food processor and process until
finely chopped. Remove to a 14x11x2" dish. Add oil
and pepper flakes. Cook in microwave, uncovered, at
100% for 3 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir in
remaining ingredients, tossing gently to coat green
beans. Cook, uncovered, at 100% for 10-15 minutes,
stirring 4-5 times.
Serve hot or cold.
