    Crunchy green beans taste wonderful in a rich, nutty coating of walnuts and lots of garlic and ginger. Serve with your favorite Asian noodle or rice dishes. This also makes a great warm or room-temperature appetizer.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil or see note
    • 1 pounds green beans trimmed (use frozen whole green beans if fresh are unavailable)
    • ½ medium red bell pepper finely diced
    • 5 to 6 cloves garlic minced
    • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger or more, to taste

    Instructions

    • Heat the oil plus 2 tablespoons of water in an extra-large skillet or stir-fry pan. Stir in the green beans and stir-fry over medium-high heat until bright green.
    • Add the red bell pepper, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and walnuts. Continue to stir-fry until the green beans are tender-crisp and touched with dark brown spots.
    • Add the hot seasoning to taste, taking into account your guest’s preferences. You can always pass more around for those who’d like more spice.
    • Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature with cocktail toothpicks.
