Ingredients
  • 1 pound green beans
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white miso
  • 3 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
  • ¼ cup toasted slivered almonds
  • salt & pepper
  • 1½ cups prepared brown rice (optional)
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and blanch for 1 minute. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. (This step is optional but it helps the green beans cook more evenly.)
  2. Heat oil over medium high heat in a large saute pan. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add green beans and cook 2 minutes more. Meanwhile, combine miso with 3 tablespoons warm water and whisk until the miso dissolves. Add maple syrup and vinegar to the miso and pour over green beans. Continue to cook for 5 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the green beans. Add chili garlic sauce and cook one minute more.
  3. Serve alone or with prepared brown rice. Top with toasted almonds.
