Sesame Green Beans

INGREDIENTS

1    tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

1    teaspoon ginger powder

2    teaspoons low sodium soy sauce

2    tablespoon water

1    tablespoon lime juice

1    tablespoon sesame oil

1    pound green beans

METHOD

In a medium bowl, combine the sesame seeds, ginger, tahini, soy sauce, water and lime juice. Stir well to combine and set aside.

Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat and add the sesame oil. Add the beans and cook, stirring occasionally,  until they are tender enough but before they brown, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add the liquid mixture, toss to coat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the liquid evaporates. Remove from the heat and serve.
