Delicious Miso Beans (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Sauce ingredients

01 - 2 teaspoons maple syrup or agave
02 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
03 - 1 tablespoon white miso paste
04 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce

→ Green bean components

05 - 2 teaspoons high-heat oil, like avocado
06 - 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (toasted)
07 - 1 pound green beans
08 - 3 minced garlic cloves

# Instructions:

01 - Combine sesame oil, soy sauce, miso, and syrup in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
02 - Slice off the ends of green beans. Long ones can be halved at an angle if you want them to look nicer.
03 - Set a large skillet or wok on medium-high. Use one made for high heat, like enameled cast iron. Pour in oil and heat for a moment.
04 - Toss green beans into the pan. Stir to coat them in oil, then arrange them flat. Let them cook for 3-5 minutes, flipping them about every 45 seconds, until they're darkened in spots and tender when poked.
05 - Drop garlic into the pan and keep stirring for half a minute, making sure it doesn't burn.
06 - Pour the sauce onto the beans, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and mix well. Pull off the heat and serve right away.

# Notes:

01 - Choose tamari or a certified gluten-free miso for those avoiding gluten.
02 - Try liquid or coconut aminos if you're skipping soy.
