Shiitake Mushroom & Green Beans
This is the perfect side dish for all occasions.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green Beans
- 2 cups Shiitake Mushrooms (Portobello or any other mushroom would do actually, so no pressure)
- 1 bulb Onion
- 2 tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 tbsp Minced Ginger
- 1 tsp Minced Habanero Pepper (Optional, but I love things spicy, and I know you would too)
- 3 tbsp Oyster Sauce
- 1 tbsp Lemon Zest
- Butter
- Olive Oil
- Sesame Seeds for garnishing ‘cos who doesn’t love those tiny little seeds of cuteness?
Instructions
- Clean and trim the green beans.
- Blanch the green beans in a pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes till the beans turn to a bight green color. Drain and shock the beans in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Remove the beans from the ice bath and dry on a paper towel.
- In a saute pan, add some olive oil and butter and use it to saute the sliced onions and mushrooms for about 2-4 minutes, or till the Mushrooms and Onions are softened and fragrant.
- Add the Green Beans to the saute pan and saute for about 3-5 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Add the minced Garlic, Ginger and Habanero Pepper. Saute for 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Season with Salt & Pepper.
- Add the Oyster Sauce and Lemon Zest. Saute for 1 more minute, allowing the sauce to heat through.
- Serve on your favorite platter, and garnish with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
