SAUCY STOVETOP THAI GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add in 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil and garlic, saute for 30 seconds or until garlic is fragrant. Immediately add in green beans; stir frequently until beans are slightly golden brown, about 5-8 minutes.
• While the beans are cooking, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, add soy sauce, sesame oil, peanut butter, ginger, vinegar, red pepper flakes and water. Stir to combine.
• One green beans are cooked and slightly golden and al dente, reduce heat to low and pour sauce over the beans. Stir to coat the beans, then cover and simmer for a few minutes to allow the beans to continue cooking.
• Taste and add salt, if necessary. Garnish with sliced green onion, sesame seeds and a tablespoon or two of cashews.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook uncovered until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the green beans are cold, drain well and cut into 2-inch pieces.
• While the green beans are cooking, stir together the peanut butter, sugar, soy sauce, peanuts, and miso paste in a mixing bowl. Once the green beans have been cut, stir into the peanut sauce and serve.

GREEN BEANS WITH PINE NUTS

Steps:

• Saute 1 sliced red onion in a skillet with olive oil, 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 pound green beans; cook 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and salt and pepper to taste; cook until the beans are tender, 7 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts; season with salt and pepper.

STIR-FRIED BEEF WITH GREEN BEANS AND PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch until foamy; season with salt and pepper. Add the beef and chives, toss to coat in the marinade and stick it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Pour the peanut oil in a large skillet or wok and place over high heat. When the oil is smoking hot, add 1/2 of the beef. (If you fry all the meat at once the oil temperature will drop and the beef will stew instead of crisp.) Fry for 2 minutes then remove to a paper towel to drain; repeat with the remaining beef. Very carefully drain all but 2 tablespoons of the hot oil into a safe container.
• Stir-fry the ginger, garlic, green onions, and chile in the remaining oil until they perfume. Add the green beans; season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry the beans for 2 minutes until crisp-tender; remove from the pan. Mix the chicken broth with the remaining tablespoon of cornstarch to make a slurry and add it to the pan. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, peanut butter, and orange peel. Simmer until the sauce is thick, about 5 minutes. Return the beef and green beans to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Garnish with chopped peanuts and serve with rice.

• In medium bowl, beat remaining ingredients except peanuts with wire whisk until smooth. Cover; refrigerate at least 30 minutes to blend flavors. Stir before serving. Garnish with peanuts. Serve beans with dip.

GREEN BEAN AND TOFU SALAD WITH PEANUT DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, stir the peanut butter, hoisin, lime juice, sugar and red-pepper flakes in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons boiling water from the saucepan to the peanut dressing and stir well. The dressing should be runny but still thick. If needed, stir in another tablespoon boiling water.
• Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until brighter in color and just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well, rinse under cold water until cool, then drain again. Transfer the green beans and tofu to the peanut dressing and stir gently until evenly coated. Season to taste with salt, then sprinkle with more red-pepper flakes. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
