⏱ Prep: 0 min ⏱ Cook: 400 min

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cup soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 0.25 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 lb green beans, ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
  • 0.5 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced thinly
  • 0.5 piece red onion, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 2 clove garlic, peeled and minced
  • 0 sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Mix soy sauce, water, and sesame oil. Add sugar, cornstarch, and pepper and stir until blended.

  2. On high heat, heat a wide, heavy-bottomed pan or wok. Add canola oil and swirl to coat bottom and sides of the pan. Heat until hot but not smoking.

  3. Add green beans and spread in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Stir-fry for about 2 to 4 minutes or until half done.

  4. Add mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Cook, stirring often until vegetables are tender yet crisp.

  5. Stir sauce mixture to redistribute cornstarch and add to pan. Cook, stirring them around until thickened.

  6. Transfer to serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve while hot.

  7. Cut the green beans into uniform lengths and the mushrooms in uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.

  8. Drain the vegetables well, and Pat them dry to ensure they brown quickly nicely and do not cook in their steam.
