How to Make Green Beans In Spicy Miso Sauce

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound trimmed green beans and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until slightly tender-crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons white miso paste with 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 3 teaspoons cold water until smooth.
  6. Add the dissolved miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or other sweetener), and the cornstarch slurry to the skillet with the green beans.
  7. Stir constantly for about 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the green beans. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more miso for saltiness, sweetener for sweetness, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat).
  8. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or quinoa.
