Crisp Green Beans with Soy Sauce

Total time: 15 minutes
  I originally found this recipe using asparagus in a Chinese cook book but it works well for green beans, too, and is perfect this time of year.

 Ingredients:

• 6oz (180gr) green beans
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp sesame or walnut oil
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tbs fresh chives, snipped

 Instructions:

• Top and tail beans.  Cut in 1 1/2" (3.25cm) lengths. 
• Bring a medium saucepan half full of water to a boil over high heat.  
• Add beans and blanch for 4 minutes, until crisp-tender. 
• Drain beans and immediately submerge in an equal amount of very cold water. 
• Drain again, spread out on paper towels and pat dry. 
• Put into a serving bowl. 
• In small bowl whisk together the oils and soy sauce. 
• Pour over beans, sprinkle with chives and stir to combine. 
• Serve.
