Szechuan Green Beans

Ingredients:
1 pound green beans
1 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp ginger, minced
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
1 scallion, white part finely chopped
1 Tbsp chili sauce
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp sugar
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp corn starch
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Directions:
Heat oil in pan on medium heat.  Add green beans and cook uncovered until tender and slightly caramelized (about 20 minutes).  Stir often.  Remove green beans from the pan and keep aside.  In the same pan, add sesame oil and heat.  Add ginger, garlic, and scallions.  Cook for a minute.  Add chili sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and the corn starch mixed with water.  Cook until the sauce thickens (a minute or so).  Add back the green beans and toss to completely coat.  Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and mix.  Serve hot.  Serves 4.
