Ingredients
Spicy Sesame Dressing
- 1/4 cup White Sesame Seeds
- 1/3 cup Seasoned Rice Vinegar
- 1/4 cup Hoisin Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chile Garlic Sauce
- 1 lbs. Green Beans
- 1 quart Water
- 1 teaspoon Cooking Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Garnish
- Red Jalapeno Chile chopped
- Black Sesame Seeds
Directions
Place the white sesame seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat; cook, shaking the pan frequently, until the seeds are lightly browned, 3-4 minutes. Immediately remove from the pan to cool. Place the sesame seeds in a blender and process until well ground. Add the remaining dressing ingredients and process until smooth.
Remove and discard the ends and strings from the beans. Cut diagonally into 2 pieces.
In a pot, bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the oil and salt. Add the beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold running water, and drain again. Refrigerate in a bowl until chilled. Just before serving, pour the dressing over the beans and toss to coat. Garnish with black sesame seeds and chopped Jalapeno.
