  • 1/3 cup almonds, sliced and browned*
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons crushed fresh ginger root

Instruction

  • Rinse green beans and add to a microwave safe bowl. There should be a little water in the bowl. If there doesn't seem to be any add 1 tablespoon and then cover with plastic wrap. Cook for 6-8 minutes.
  • In a large saute pan add olive oil, grated ginger and garlic and mix well.
  • Add in the cooked green beans and soy sauce and cook for 5 minutes more
  • Take off the heat and add the sesame oil and almonds and mix again.
  • Note you can use the almonds as is or toast them for the topping.
  • **If using toasted almond slices - Add raw almonds to a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir them around to get them all toasted. They should brown in a few minutes.. Keep an eye on them as they burn easily. You can do this while the green beans cook in the microwave to save time.
