Asian Green Beans

I had some fantastic green beans at a wedding last summer and I have wanted them ever since.  Last night I decided to merge a few different recipes to see if I could come close.   These were fantastic.  Not exactly the same, but dare I say better (thanks to some added heat!) 

Ingredients:
1 large bag fresh green beans (snapped)
2 tbsp seasame oil
2 tbsp minced 
2-4 tbsp rice wine vinigar
1/4 cup coconut aminos
1 tbsp teriyaki
1 tsp ground ginger
salt/pepper
1 tsp crushed 


  1. In a large, heavy pan, heat 2tbsp seasame oil.
  2. Add 2 tbsp minced garlic... stir.
  3. Add green beans and toss.
  4. Cook about 8-10 minutes, until green beans start to soften, stirring frequently.  
  5. Deglaze pan with 2-4 tbsp rice wine vinigar, stir well.
  6. Add 1/4 cup coconut aminos, 1tbsp teriyaki sauce and 1 tsp ground ginger, mix.
  7. Taste to see if the dish needs any salt and pepper (do check- or it might get too salty). Sprinkle 1 tsp crushed red pepper.
  8. When green beans are as soft as you'd like them, remove and plate!

While the wild rice was cooking, I sautéed up some minced garlic, diced celery and diced onions in a tablespoon of olive oil.  Until they were translucent.  As an after though I threw these in a food chopper because I knew chunks of these items in a burger would turn my kids off! Once that was done, I mixed my wild rice and sautéed veggie mix together.   Next I threw in 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs.  The recipe above called for Asiago cheese, I however could not find any and instead used shredded parmesan.   I seasoned the mix with sea salt, crushed black pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika and caye...
