Blistered Miso Green Beans
Blistered green beans with umami flavors including miso paste and soy sauce. A great side dish or healthy dinner.
Servings: 4 side dishes
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Miso Paste
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce I used reduced sodium
- 2 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Light Oil like avocado oil, to prevent burning
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 lb Green Beans washed and dried very well
- 7 Cloves Garlic peeled and sliced
- 1 tsp Red Pepper Flake or to taste
- Sesame Seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix miso, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar
- In a large cast iron or heavy bottomed pan, heat oil over medium high heat until oil shimmers, make sure the bottom of the pan is generously covered with oil,
- Drop in green beans, spread out evenly in the pan, beans may sizzle, you may cover with a splatter screen if needed. Allow beans to cook undisturbed for 3-5 minutes until one side is blistered and a bit browned
- Toss beans and cook for another 3-5 minutes undisturbed
- Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes, cook for about a minute or until garlic begins to brown and is fragrant
- Pour in sauce, turn off heat, continue to stir until mostly reduced
- Move to a serving dish, be sure to scrape brown bits from the bottom of the pan and add them to the beans. Top with sesames seeds, serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Tips:
- Dry your green beans completely before frying so to reduce oil splatter. I like to do this in a clean kitchen towel to save paper. I roll my beans up in the towel and let them sit while I prep other ingredients.
- If you need to cover your beans while frying to reduce splatter use a splatter screen rather than a pot lid. This will prevent steaming the beans and help with blistering.
