Vegetables
- 1 lb fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 shallot, diced
Other Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- ½ tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green beans, diced shallot, and sliced mushrooms, cooking them until they start to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, allowing its flavor to release without burning.
- Incorporate Teriyaki Sauce: Pour in the teriyaki sauce. Continue cooking the mixture for about 5 more minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds, toss gently to combine, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil or a plant-based margarine.
- Adjust the quantity of teriyaki sauce to taste for a lighter or stronger glaze.
- To enhance flavor, you can add a dash of freshly grated ginger along with the garlic.
- Serve as a side dish with rice, grilled meats, or tofu for a complete meal.
