5 ts Peanut oil or canola oil
1 cl Garlic, peeled & minced
1 ts Minced gingerroot
1 lb Green beans (2" pieces)
1 ts Oriental sesame oil
1/2 ts Salt (optional)

1. Heat the oil in a wok or skillet. Add the garlic and ginger, and
stir-fry the ingredients for 30 seconds. 2. Add the green beans, and
stir-fry them over high heat for 2 to 4 minutes. 3. Add the sesame oil and
salt (if desired), toss the ingredients to coat them, and serve the beans.
Preparation tip: The beans are supposed to be tender-crisp and shriveled or
even charred a bit on the outside. If you like tenderer beans, cover the
pan after adding the sesame oil and salt, and continue cooking the beans
for a few minutes over moderately low heat.
