Szechuan Green Beans

Szechuan Green Beans

This is my take on the Szechuan Green Beans I had at Wild Ginger restaurant for our office holiday party this year. 

Here's how I made Szechuan Green Beans:

1 cup washed, stringed and chopped green beans - I like to cut them in diamond shape

Saute the green beans in sesame oil on medium high heat for 10 mins, stirring often, till cooked but still crunchy.

As the beans are cooking make the sauce by mixing 4 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp ginger paste, 1/2 tsp garlic paste, 1/2 tsp sriracha hot sauce, 1/2 tsp sweet and sour sauce and 1 tsp Trader Joe Soy Ginger dressing (last ingredient is optional).

Add the sauce to the beans and mix well. Heat through for 2-3 mins.

Remove to serving bowl and top with almond slivers. This goes well as a side dish with fried rice.
