This pork chop dinner meal, replete with soft, oniony potatoes, was provided by my grandma. I hope you find it as enjoyable as I do.

Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

- 1 ½ teaspoons cold water
- 1 ½ tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook uncovered until bright green, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Mix mustard powder and cold water together in a small bowl to make a paste. Stir in vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, sugar, and salt.
- Pour mustard paste mixture over green beans; toss to coat. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Reviews
This is a nice side dish. I used ALDI frozen thin green beans because fresh beans are not in season. I used Simply Organic mustard powder. I had everything else in my fridge and cupboard. I will make this again.
3.30.19 I love recipes like this that can be prepared in advance, and then there’s no last minute rush or coordination with the rest of the meal later. in the day. I steamed my green beans in the microwave for 1 min 45 seconds and then they went into the ice bath. Dry mustard definitely has a kick, so if you’re borderline on spiciness, you may want to start out modestly, as you can always add more later to bump up the heat. One recommendation would be to mix up your dressing without the sesame seeds, so you don’t get any clumps of the mustard paste like I did, and then stir in your sesame seeds last.
This was okay. I used cider vinegar instead of white, and doubled the amount. This tasted like too much sodium to me, so I added a 1/2 tsp of sambal oelek to give it a flavor other than salt.
I used half the green beans and left the rest of the ingredients the same for an extra saucy green beans and these turned out excellent! I highly recommend this recipe!
