⁡ ⁡ 【 Sesame green beans / 🇯🇵: Ingen no Goma-ae 】 ⁡ A classic Japanese side dish made with tender green beans tossed in a sweet and savory sesame dressing. Simple, healthy, and full of nutty sesame flavor! 😋✨ ⁡ ⁡ Ingredients (serves 2–3) - Green beans: 100–150 g (I used 150 g) - Salt: about 1 tsp (for 500 ml of water) - Ground sesame seeds: 1 tbsp - Sugar: 1 tsp - Soy sauce: 1 tsp ⁡ ⁡ 1. Prepare the green beans Trim off the ends and cut the green beans into 2–3 bite-sized pieces. ⁡ 2. Boil the green beans Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the salt. Boil the green beans for about 2 minutes if they’re thin, or 3 minutes if they’re thicker, stirring occasionally with chopsticks. Taste one to check the texture. Once they’re tender but still slightly crisp, drain them. ⁡ Prepare a bowl of cold water, or rinse the beans with fresh water 2–3 times to cool them completely. ⁡ 3. Drain well Once cooled, drain the green beans thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much excess moisture as possible. ⁡ 4. Make the sesame dressing In a bowl, mix the ground sesame seeds, sugar, and soy sauce. Add the green beans and toss until everything is evenly coated. ⁡ And your delicious Japanese sesame green beans are ready! 🥢🌿😋 ⁡ ⁡ Save and follow me for more easy recipes! ありがとう🙏🏻✨(🇯🇵: Arigatou, Thank you, Danke) ⁡ ⁡ #greenbeans #vegan #japan #japanesefood #essen
