GARLIC GINGER GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• In a large pot, boil the green beans for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Then immediately place the green beans into a large bowl with ice and cold water (ice bath). Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet at medium-high heat and add the oil, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic just begins to brown.
• Remove the green beans from the ice bath using a slotted spoon and place them into the skillet. Top with soy sauce, almonds, salt and pepper, and then toss to combine all the ingredients.
• After the green beans are heated through, remove from heat. Taste for additional salt and pepper. Best served immediately.

GREEN BEANS WITH GINGER AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and fill a large bowl with ice water. Working in two batches, boil beans until just tender but still crisp and bright green. Start testing after 4 minutes or so, being careful not to overcook. When done, plunge beans into ice water to stop cooking, lift out immediately when cool and drain on towels. (Recipe can be made to this point up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated, wrapped in towels.)
• When ready to cook, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide skillet over high heat. Add half the beans, half the ginger and half the garlic, and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until beans are heated through and ginger and garlic are softened and aromatic. Sprinkle with salt, and remove to a serving dish. Repeat with remaining oil, beans, ginger and garlic. Serve.
