No eating in the library.

I like to cook and I work in a library. This will be about food and libraries. Also videogames.

Ingredients:

2 handfuls of fresh green beans - de-stemmed
2 cloves of garlic - chopped/mashed
1 green onion - finely diced
Oyster sauce
Soy sauce
Chili-garlic sauce
Toasted sesame seeds 
Cooking oil 

Blanch green beans in boiling water for 60 seconds then strain and dunk in ice water till cool.  Drain and set aside.

Heat a saute pan/wok over high heat then add a small amount of a neutral cooking oil (canola, grape seed, peanut) and green beans.  Cook for about 1 minute. Add garlic and green onion and continue to cook till green beans are tender (varies according to taste).

To finish, add 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon soy sauce (I prefer “light soy” also known as usukuchi- not “low sodium” soy), chili garlic sauce to taste (rooster sauce is preferred). Cook 30 seconds more to blend and add sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds.

Enjoy.
