Just experimenting with another way to make green beans. This was over the summer and I’d gotten a bunch of beans at the farmers market. I liked them as much as this Green Beans with Caramelized Shallots and Gremolata recipe. Definitely better than when I made Green Beans with Bread Crumbs.
Green Bean Stir-Fry
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. sesame seeds, toasted
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. peanut butter
3/4 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
4 1/2 tsp. vegetable oil
Directions:
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, garlic, sesame seeds, brown sugar and peanut butter; set aside. In a large skillet, stir-fry the green beans in oil until crisp-tender. Remove from the heat. Add the soy sauce mixture; stir to coat.

Adding peanut butter sounds a little bizarre. :{

If you like fermented saltiness (similar to Miso i suppose), try stir-frying your green beans with preserved black beans or fermented tofu… Chinese grandma style!
