Ingredients

  • 1 pound green beans with trimmed ends
  • ¼ c. rice vinegar
  • 2 T. miso paste
  • 2 T. plus 1 tsp. sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Steam the green beans in the top of a steamer pot with the lid on.  When the water in bottom pot is boiling, reduce heat to low.  Check the beans so that they do not overcook. Beans should only take several minutes. 
  2. While the beans are steaming, make the miso sauce. Grind 2 T. of the sesame seeds in a coffee grinder. If you do not have one, then place the seeds in a bag and run a rolling pin over them several times. Mix together the miso paste, rice vinegar and 2 T. of ground sesame seeds. Whisk well. 
  3. When the beans are cooked, place in a bowl and mix in the miso sauce. Sprinkle on the rest of the sesame seeds and serve.
