Green Beans in Black Bean Sauce
Ingredients
• 1 lb fresh green beans
• 2 Tbsp black bean paste
• 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 Tbsp corn starch
Directions
Wash green beans and trim into bite sized pieces. Steam or microwave with a little
water until just tender-crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
Mix together the black bean paste, soy sauce, water and corn starch until very
smooth.
Heat a wok or large saucepan to medium high. Add some water and the cooked
beans. When beans are heated (about 2 minutes) add the sauce. Stir constantly to
coat the beans (sauce will get very thick). Serve immediately over hot cooked rice.
This sauce and cooking process can be used with just about any vegetable you like.
