How to Make Asian Green Beans

  1. Wash 1 pound of green beans and snap off the ends.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green but still crisp.
  3. Immediately drain the green beans and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and maintain their vibrant color and crunch. Let them sit in the ice bath for 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  5. Drain the chilled green beans thoroughly. Pour the dressing over the green beans and toss gently to coat.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer they marinate (up to 2 hours), the more intense the flavors will be. Serve chilled and enjoy!
