SESAME GREEN BEANS

Adapted from Cook’s Country Feb/Mar 2008

1 Tbls. soy sauce
2 tsp. honey
4 tsp. vegetable oil
3/4 to 1 pound green beans trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tsp. sesame seeds
2 tsp. rice vinegar
2 tsp. toasted sesame oil

Whisk soy sauce and honey in small bowl. Heat oil in empty skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Cook beans until bright green, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until beans are spotty brown and tender, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toast sesame seeds in a large dry skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate. Uncover beans, stir in soy sauce mixture, and cook until beans are glazed, about 1 minute. Off heat, stir in vinegar and sesame oil. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serves 3 to 4.
