Green Beans in Black Bean Sauce

 

1 lb. fresh green beans

2 tbsps. black bean paste

2 tbsps. low sodium soy sauce or tamari

1/4 cup cold water

1 tbsp. corn starch

 

Wash green beans and trim into bite sized pieces. Steam or microwave with a

little water until just tender-crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop

cooking. Mix together the black bean paste, soy sauce, water and corn starch

until very smooth.

Heat a wok or large saucepan to medium high. Add some water and the cooked

beans. When beans are heated (about 2 minutes) add the sauce. Stir constantly to

coat the beans (sauce will get very thick). Serve immediately over hot cooked

rice.
