I found this and have made it a bunch of times this summer with beautiful green beans. Even my bf who doesn't care for green beans will eat this! The recipe says you can also try it with broccoli instead of the beans. (Sometimes I use more chicken broth, just depends on how fast you want them done, and more or less flavor.)
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 lb fresh green beans, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
black pepper (to taste)
Directions:
1. Heat oil in large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add sesame seeds. When seeds start to darken, stir in green beans. Cook, stirring until the beans turn bright green. (I never notice a bright green color, I just cook about 10 minutes or so.).
2. Pour in chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook until beans are tender-crisp, about 10 minutes. (I like mine much more done - about 30 minutes!) Uncover and cook until liquid evaporates. You can serve these hot like normal, but I even like these babies cold! ;-).
