Ingredients :

- 1 lb fresh green beans

- 2 Tbsp black bean paste

- 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce

- 1/4 cup cold water

- 1 Tbsp corn starch

Directions : Wash green beans and trim into bite sized pieces. Steam or microwave with a little water until just tender-crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Mix together the black bean paste, soy sauce, water and corn starch until very smooth. Heat a wok or large saucepan to medium high. Add some water and the cooked beans. When beans are heated (about 2 minutes) add the sauce. Stir constantly to coat the beans (sauce will get very thick). Serve immediately over hot cooked rice.

This sauce and cooking process can be used with just about any vegetable you like.
