                Asian Style Ginger Sesame Green Beans

I love Asian food. I usually don't care for crunchy green beans. I tried these the other day at a restaurant and decided to try making them lower fat. Here is what I did!

                                      Ms. Ginger wanted her own close up!
                                         (you can use fresh grated ginger)

1 14 oz bag of frozen green beans
   Par boil for 4-6 min in water, then drain.

Whisk together the following in a bowl:
2 Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce.

1 crushed clove of garlic
1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
1 Tablespoon of rice wine or red wine vinegar.
1 Tablespoon of Splenda.
