Ingredients

4 teaspoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon dry sherry or water

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

1 1/2 tablespoons oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon minced fresh gingner

1 lb. green beans

Directions

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sugar and sherry (or water). Set aside.

Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and heat until hot. When oil is hot, add garlic, ginger and beans and stir-fry for about 1 1/2 minutes. Add soy sauce mixture and stir to evenly combine. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook until beans are tender-crisp to bite (about 4-7 more minutes).

Uncover and increase heat to high. Boil, stirring until almost all liquid has evaporated (about 1-3 minutes). Dish beans and any remaining sauce onto a platter and top with toasted sesame seeds.
