Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams green beans
- 200 grams shiitake mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Rinse the green beans under cold water. Trim the ends and set them aside.
Wipe the shiitake mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and slice the caps into thin strips.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.
Add the green beans to the skillet, along with the water. Cover the pan with a lid and let the beans steam for 3 minutes.
Remove the lid, reduce the heat to medium, and stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
Transfer the green beans and mushrooms to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish.
