Experience a deliciously simple and healthy Asian-inspired dish with our Green Bean and Mushroom Stir-Fry with Sesame Seeds. This recipe combines the crunchy texture of green beans, the rich umami flavor of mushrooms, and the aromatic touch of sesame seeds, all brought together in a savory sauce.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, sesame oil, sugar, black pepper, and cornstarch. Stir well until the sugar and cornstarch are fully dissolved. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Add the thinly sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, until they start to become tender-crisp.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until both the green beans and mushrooms are tender.
- Give the prepared sauce a quick stir (to ensure the cornstarch is fully combined), then pour it over the vegetables in the skillet.
- Stir continuously to coat the vegetables evenly with the sauce. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and adheres to the vegetables.
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the stir-fry and give it one last gentle stir to combine everything.
- Transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish and enjoy immediately, preferably with steamed rice or your favorite grain.
Tips:
- For an added crunch, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat before adding them to the stir-fry.
- Use fresh, firm green beans for the best texture and flavor.
- Slice mushrooms evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a bit more cornstarch diluted in water.
- For a spicier version, add some red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the sauce.
- Make sure the skillet or wok is hot before adding vegetables to achieve a quick, even stir-fry.
