Sesame Soy Glazed Green Beans Nugget Markets signature recipes

The perfect balance of sweet and savory, these garlicky green beans make a great side for all sorts of Asian-inspired dishes.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound green beans
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 3 tablespoons tamari
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • Black sesame seeds, for garnish

Preparation

Blanch green beans in heavily salted boiling water for 1½ minutes, or until they just yield to pressure. Shock beans in an ice bath, then dry thoroughly.

Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the dry green beans and cook, stirring frequently, until the skin of the beans starts to blister. Add the garlic and ginger and stir until just fragrant.

Add the tamari and brown sugar and stir to coat. Cook for 3–5 minutes, until the mixture is syrupy, then serve garnished with black sesame seeds.
