Spicy String Beans

 

3 tbsps. olive oil

1 lb. string beans, ends trimmed, cut into halves

1 tsp. ground ginger

4 to 5 large cloves garlic, minced very finely

1 tsp. salt

1 to 3 tbsps. hot sauce, to taste

1/2 cup toasted pine nuts

 

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add your string beans and

saute until they look very green and their skin looks a bit blistered, about 5

to 10 minutes.

Dust the ground ginger over the string beans, stir, and cover the pan to steam

them for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender but firm.

Add finely minced garlic, salt, and hot sauce, stirring and raise the heat to

medium-high.

Cook briefly, about 2 or 3 minutes, just until hot sauce is absorbed and garlic

is aromatic but no longer seems too pungent. Add toasted pine nuts and remove

from heat. Serve over rice or on their own.

Makes 4 servings.
