Quick Sesame Green Beans
This is my interpretation of the green beans from my favorite Japanese restaurant. Serve with a grilled steak! You can omit the miso paste if you choose.
fresh green beans, trimmed
8
ounces
low sodium soy sauce
2
tablespoons
miso paste
½
tablespoon
red pepper flakes
½
teaspoon
garlic, minced
4
cloves
grated fresh ginger root
1
teaspoon
sesame seeds, toasted
1
tablespoon
 Place the green beans into a steamer insert and set in a pot over one inch of water. Bring to a boil, cover and steam for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer beans to a serving bowl.
  Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, miso paste, red pepper flakes, garlic and ginger. Pour over the green beans and toss to coat. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
