Minoo prepared a second side dish to go with the pasta. This week’s recipes were mostly vegetables which is a good thing.
The Sesame Green Beans are aromatic with sesame oil and the sesame seeds add nuttiness and texture to this simple stir fry vegetable dish.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds green beans, washed and trimmed
- olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons or more sesame seeds (a handful)
- soy sauce to taste

Instructions
 Cook green beans in boiling water for 2 minutes.
Transfer beans to a colander and run under cold water. Drain well. |
 Heat a wok shaped skillet or large non-stick frying pan over high heat.
Add several drops of olive oil and dark sesame oil. Add sesame seeds and garlic. Caution: sesame seeds pop while you are frying them. Cover your pan with a lid if necessary. |
 Add beans and stir fry for 2 minutes. |
 Add crushed pepper flakes and season with soy sauce to taste. |
