Green beans and red bell pepper salad

red-bell-pepper-and-green-beans-salad

Doesn’t this look pretty? This deep green and deep red together, mixed with the cute seeds, makes this salad irresistible!

Ingredients:

- red pepper (I used a big one, to serve two)

- green beans (about 100 g, to serve two)

- 1 tbsp sesame seeds

- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 1 tbsp mirin (a Japanese sauce which is relatively easy to find)

- 1 tsp brown sugar

- 1 garlic clove, grated

- 1 tsp ginger, grated

- 1/2 tsp sesame oil

- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Cooking instructions:

Bring water to boil, add the green beans, cook for 3-5 minutes (depending on how crunchy you like them). The remove from the heat and cool with ice cold water. Drain, cut in smaller pieces, mix with the pepper also cut in julienne.

Roast the sesame seeds in a non-stick pan (no oil needed). Pour over the salad.

Mix the ingredients for the sauce: the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, vegetable oil.  Pour over the salad and serve.

Enjoy!!
