Peep's Sesame String Beans Stir Fry

• Peanut oil to deep fry
• 2 TBS peanut oil
• 1 lb string beans - cleaned
• 1 clove garlic - minced
• 1/3 cup chicken broth (or water)
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 1 TBS Sesame seeds - or to taste
• Several drops Sesame oil
• Several drops Hot Chili Sesame oil
• Additional sesame seeds for garnish if desired

1. Toast sesame seeds in dry pan till golden; remove from pan and set aside
2. In heavy pan heat 1 inch oil.
3. When a drop of water sizzles when place in the oil it is hot enough. (STAND BACK WHEN DOING THIS & BE CAREFUL!)
4. Drop string beans in and quickly stir them around for 1 minute then remove from oil.
5. Heat 2 tablespoon of peanut oil in a heavy wide frying pan. (I used my 13-1/4" cast iron pan)
6. Add string beans and garlic and stir fry for 1 minute.
7. Add chicken broth or water, lower heat, cover and cook until beans are crisp tender.
8. Return sesame seeds to pan, along with a few drops of sesame oil, hot chili oil (if using) and soy sauce.
9. Sprinkle with additional toasted sesame seeds if desired before serving.

Peep, I looked up Korean green bean recipes and they look very similar to this one.

Okay if I use it for part of my Korean entry, you think?
