Ingredients
12 oz fresh green beans
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger root
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1/3 cup thin sliced water chestnuts
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 freshly ground pepper
Cooking Directions:
Slice the green beans and water chestnuts ahead of time, but cook just before meal time. Serve tender-crisp and piping hot. Thin, fresh asparagus spears can be substituted for green beans.
Wash and drain green beans. French-cut in half lengthwise; set aside. Combine chicken broth, ginger root and garlic in a frypan; bring to a boil. Add green beans and water chestnuts. Sprinkle with soy sauce. Cover tightly and steam 7 to 8 min until tender-crisp. If moisture has not dried off, remove cover, raise heat briefly and shake pan to evaporate remaining liquid. Season to taste with pepper.
