Ham and Green Bean Stir Fry
Today

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound green beans
  • 1 teaspoon hot sesame oil
  • 1 pound boneless ham steak
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon mirin or white balsamic vinegar

Yield: 4 Servings

Directions:

  • Rinse and trim the green beans into 2-inch lengths. Slice the ham steaks into ribbons approximately the same size as the green beans. Reserve.
  • Whisk the chicken broth, soy sauce, mirin or balsamic vinegar, and hot sesame oil together in a small bowl. Whisk in the cornstarch.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. (Do not use a nonstick skillet to stir-fry; the high heat destroys the finish of the pan.) Add the ham and cook, stirring constantly, until brown.
  • Add the green beans and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, then add the garlic and cook, still stirring, for a minute more.
  • Stir in the soy broth and the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
  • Serve with rice or other grain or noodle of your choice.
