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.
