Green beans with Olokoi
This summer my green beans are growing like crazy, so that means I gotta lot to cook. This is my version of the green beans from one of my favorite restaurants called Capital Noodle in Costa Mesa, California. The beans are served with a lot of garlic, which I will never complain about. Here is my take, using Olokoi.

- 1 tsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbl Olokoi sauce (hot or mild)
- 2 tsp sugar
- 3 tbl white wine vinegar
- 2 tbl vegetable oil
- 6 cloves of garlic
- 1 inch fresh ginger
- 1 large shallot
- Sesame oil and sesame seeds (optional)
Directions
- Trim green beans
- In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Olokoi, and sugar, set aside
- Finely chop all vegetable and set aside
- Heat up skillet, add oil
- Add the vegetables and cook until brown and soft
- Add the green beans and cook for several minutes, but dont over cook the beans
- Deglaze with the vinegar
- Add the sauce mixture
- Plate and drizzle with some sesame oil and sesame seeds
