Squeezing the grated ginger and using the juice in the sauce for the beans creates mild ginger flavor. The nutty, salty sauce is a nice complement to the beans. Ingredients:
4 cups green beans, trimmed (about 10 ounces) |
2 tablespoons grated peeled fresh ginger |
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted |
2 tablespoons water |
1 1/2 tablespoons yellow miso (soybean paste) |
1/2 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce |
Directions:
1. Place beans into a large saucepan of boiling water; cook 5 minutes. Drain and plunge beans into ice water; drain.
2. Place ginger on several layers of damp cheesecloth. Gather edges of cheesecloth; squeeze cheesecloth bag over a small bowl. Set 1/2 teaspoon ginger juice aside; reserve remaining juice for another use. Discard ginger. Combine 1/2 teaspoon ginger juice, walnuts, water, miso, and soy sauce in a food processor; process until nuts are minced. Combine walnut mixture and beans in a large bowl.
