Method
 

Preparation
  1. Trim the ends of the green beans and set them aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the sauce.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the green beans to the hot skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until they are tender-crisp.
  3. Pour the miso sauce over the green beans and toss to coat evenly; cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serving
