Ingredients​

• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup water
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 pound green beans, ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
• ½ pound cremini mushrooms, sliced thinly
• ½ red onion, peeled and sliced thinly
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• sesame seeds

Instructions​

• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, water, and sesame oil. Add sugar, cornstarch, and pepper and stir until blended. Set aside.
• Over high heat, heat a wide, heavy-bottomed pan or wok. Add canola oil and swirl to coat bottom and sides of the pan. Heat until hot but not smoking.
• Add green beans and spread in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Stir-fry for about 2 to 4 minutes or until half done.
• Add mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Cook, stirring regularly until vegetables are tender yet crisp.
• Stir sauce mixture to redistribute cornstarch and add to pan. Cook, stirring regularly until thickened.
• Transfer to serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.

Notes​

• Cut the green beans into uniform lengths and the mushrooms in uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
• Drain the vegetables well, and pat dry to ensure they sear nicely and do not cook in their steam.
