Green Beans With Water Chestnuts
Ingredients:
12 oz fresh green beans 1/2 cup chicken broth 1 tsp finely chopped ginger root 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped 1/3 cup thin sliced water chestnuts 1 tsp soy sauce 1 freshly ground pepper
Instructions:
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.
