Miso Green Beans and Mushroom

I am not a side dish person! I love a good meat meal, but don't ask me to make side dishes because I find them boring and not even the star of the show anyway!

But when I do have to make side dishes, the first one that comes to my mind is green beans! I love love the crunchiness of this veggie and cannot get enough of them once I start eating! I recently made them as a combo with whole mushrooms seasoned with a miso dressing. All i can say is WOW.

• 1 kg green beans, roughly, both edges chopped off

• 10-15 whole mushrooms

• 2 tbsp oil

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 2 tbsp shiro miso

• 3 tbsp honey

• 1 tbsp dijon

• 1 tsp sriracha (optional)

• 1/2 tsp sesame oil

• 1/2 lemon, juiced

• Garlic powder

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS:

1. Stat by blanching your green beans: In a pot, bring water to a rolling boil , add green beans for 3 minutes then drain. 

2. In a wok, start by sautéing your mushrooms for a few minutes. Add in your green beans and add the seasoning. Make sure you add salt to taste. 

3. Saute until sauce thickens and mushrooms soften. 

4. Top with sesame seeds.

Enjoy,
