Ingredients
- 1/2 pound green beans, trimmed
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into Julienne strips
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon chile flakes, if you want a kick (optional)
- 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Place the green beans and water into a saucepan, and bring the water to a boil. Simmer the beans, uncovered, until they are almost tender and there is just a bit of water left, then stir in the red pepper strips. Simmer a little longer, until the beans are tender and all of the water has evaporated. Take the pan off the heat.
-
Step 2: While the beans cook, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, dry mustard, honey, and if using, add the chile flakes (if you prefer and want a kick) in a small bowl. Place the green beans back over medium-high heat, and add the soy mixture. Toss until the vegetables are well coated, letting the sauce boil and thicken a bit.

Step 3: Take the pan off the heat. Drizzle in the sesame oil, and sprinkle on the toasted sesame seeds, if you are using them. Serve the beans immediately.
