Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fresh green beans ends trimmed
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsps water
  • 1-2 Tbsps toasted sesame seeds for serving

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 3-4 fresh garlic cloves minced or pressed
  • 2 Tbsps fresh ginger finely grated
  • 1 Tbsp raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos Bragg's liquid aminos, or low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup broth vegetable, or beef
  • 1/2 Tbsp gluten-free flour

Instructions

  • In a small glass bowl whisk all Teriyaki sauce ingredients together really well; set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add oil. Add in the beans and 2 Tablespoons of water. Stir.
  • Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes, then stir again and continue to cook until they are done to your liking (I prefer them on the crunchy side "tender crisp" and still very green).
  • Drizzle your homemade teriyaki sauce over the beans and cook stirring until sauce thickens and beans are nicely coated for just a minute or two.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving and enjoy immediately!
