Ingredients

1 lb fresh green beans
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger root, minced
2 Tbsp water
1 tsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp seasoned salt
2 tsp dark brown sugar
2 Tbsp sesame or peanut oil for sauteing

Directions

1Wash beans in cold water. Remove ends. Leave in long lengths, or chop in half as desired.
2In a pot large enough for the beans, add 1/2" of water and bring to a boil. Add beans and cover. Steam for 5 minutes. Drain and immerse beans in cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
3In large sautee pan, add sesame (or peanut or olive) oil and heat on high. Add freshly minced garlic and ginger root, and sautee for 1 minute, being careful to keep the garlic and ginger from burning.
4Add beans to garlic and ginger. Sautee on medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until beans are hot.
5Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir water, cornstarch, soy sauce, melted butter, and seasoned salt. Add to beans and toss until all beans are coated and the sauce mixture thickens and bubbles.
6Add beans to bowl and cover. Serve immediately.
