Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound green beans -- trimmed

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon dry sherry or Chinese rice wine

2 garlic cloves -- minced

 

SERVES 4

 

Dressed in a simple soy marinade, the beans take on a slightly charred

appearance. This isn't the most beautiful way to present fresh green

beans, but it is among the most flavorful. I recommend using a vegetable

grill rack with green beans; but if you are careful, you can lay the beans

perpendicular to the grid of the grill grate and not lose too many of them

into the coals.

 

1. Prepare a medium fire in the grill with a lightly oiled vegetable grill

rack or grill-wok in place.

 

2. Place the beans in a shallow dish. Add the sesame oil, soy sauce,

sherry or rice wine, and garlic. Toss to coat.

 

3. Lift the beans out of the marinade with a pair of tongs. Grill the

beans, tossing frequently, until tender and browned, 8 to 10 minutes.

 

4. Place the beans in a serving dish. Pour over any remaining

marinade. Serve hot.

 

Variations: Substitute asparagus spears, carrot sticks, or broccoli florets

for the green beans.
