Asian-Style Green Beans. My kids begged me to cook one of their favorite dinners last night – potstickers. Lucky for me, they absolutely adore the frozen ones from Costco. It’s actually rather amusing to watch them stab at their potstickers with chopsticks. They skills are improving, but occasionally a stray potsticker will fly across the table. It always reminds me of the scene in Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts’ escargot goes flying across the fancy restaurant, right into the hand of the gracious waiter. I always serve the potstickers with some brown rice and stir-fried vegetables. Trim the ends of 1 lb of green beans. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the green beans. Blanch the green beans for 1 1/2 to 3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the beans. Pat dry with a paper towel. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and 2 tsp of fresh ginger. In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp packed brown sugar. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp sesame oil over high heat.
