Ingredients:
For Beans
Green beans
2 teaspoons oil of your choice
1/2 to 1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon red chile pepper flakes
1 cup sliced red bell peppers(about 1/2 of a large pepper)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
For the glaze
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch whisked together with 1 tablespoon cold water
Bring a pot of water to a boil and get a large bowl of ice water ready. Drop the beans into the boiling water. Cook beans for 2 to 4 minutes. Strain beans and plunge into the ice water for a few minutes then remove from water. Pat beans dry then slice in half, at an angle or how you prefer.
To make the glaze heat a small pan on medium-high heat for several minutes. Add soy sauce to skillet then stir in honey and vinegar. Stir in cold water. Set aside once the mixture thickens (about a minute)
Heat oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Get beans coated in oil from pan. Add the garlic, ginger and pepper flakes. Saute for a minute or two. Add the glaze, coating everything and cook until heated. Serve sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.
* Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan on medium heat. Stir, shake or toss seeds occasionally to prevent burning. Watch closely, seeds are ready when they start to darken and smell nutty.
