Recipe courtesy of Harvard University Dining Services
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- ¾ pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced (about ½ cup)
- ½ medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced (about ½ cup)
- ¼ pound shitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon red chili garlic sauce
Preparation:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
- Add the green beans to the water. Cook the beans for about 4 minutes, or until they are bright green and still slightly crisp. Meanwhile, prepare a large bowl of ice water.
- Drain the green beans in colander and quickly place them in the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain the beans again in a colander before proceeding to the next step.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the onion, pepper, and mushrooms, and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, or until the vegetables begin to brown slightly.
- Add the green beans, garlic, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds, or until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the red chili garlic sauce to the skillet and stir to coat the vegetables well. Remove from heat and serve.
