I made dinner last night. Totally simple, but when my bf came over, he wanted to know why I cooked something so fancy.
I marinaded salmon in this for about an hour:
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine or sake
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried chile flakes or hot chile paste
1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
Grilled the Salmon on my trusty George Forman Grill
I served the salmon with Hot Szechauan Green Beans
SERVES 8
1 lb green beans
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar or Splenda sugar substitute
1/4-1/2 teaspoon hot chili flakes
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1.Rinse and drain green beans;trim off and discard stem ends.
2.Cut green beans into 2- to 3-inch lengths.
3.In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, chili flakes, and white pepper.
4.Set a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over high heat.
5.When pan is hot, add green beans and 1/4 cup water.
6.Cover and cook, stirring once, until beans are bright green and slightly crunchy to bite, 3 to 4 minutes.
7.Uncover and cook until any remaining water has evaporated.
8.Add oil, garlic, and ginger to pan stir until green beans and garlic are slightly browned, 1to 2 minutes.
9.Stir soy mixture and add to pan; bring to a boil and stir until most of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce thickens and coats the beans, 2 to 3 minutes.
10.Pour into serving dish.
Serve hot or cold.
