From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Here is a slightly different way to prepare green beans. These Asian-style beans serve as a side dish for the Silver Fox, but I combine them with a handful of rice noodle and make them the main course of my meal. Whichever approach you take, I think you'll enjoy beans prepared in this manner. The recipe, which comes from Fine Cooking magazine, is simple to follow, and my only caution regarding its preparation is the need to exercise care when you blanch the beans. You really want the beans to be crisp tender when they are served, so do not over cook them. In order to preserve their color, the beans should be served as soon as they have finished cooking. You can, by the way, use frozen beans to make this dish. I think you'll like these. Here is how they are made.
