Green Beans With Water Chestnuts Recipe - Cooking Index
| 12 oz | 340g | Fresh green beans |
| 1/2 cup | 118ml | Chicken broth |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Finely chopped ginger root |
| 1 | Garlic - finely chopped | |
| 1/3 cup | 78ml | Thin sliced water chestnuts |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Soy sauce |
| Freshly ground pepper |
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 frying pan; 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.
