"Everyone loves this dish! Try it with peas and asparagus, too. I do make a few little adjustments to make it spicier, but here is the original recipe. As printed in Heather Thomas' New Vegetarian Cookbook. (I guessed at the prep time, because it takes me forever to do my prep work.)"

Step by Step Method

Trim green beans and remove strings; cut into 1 to 3-inch pieces.

Stir in the scallions and salt and continue stir-frying for one minute.

Step 5
Add the vegetable broth, soy sauce (I use gluten-free), sherry, and sugar and turn up the heat.

Sprinkle with plenty of black pepper and serve.
