      Title: GREEN BEANS WITH WATER CHESTNUTS
 Categories: Vegetables, Low-cal
      Yield: 4 servings
 
     12 oz Fresh green beans
    1/2 c  Chicken broth
      1 ts Finely chopped ginger root
      1 sm Clove garlic, finely chopped
    1/3 c  Thin sliced water chestnuts
      1 ts Soy sauce
           Freshly ground pepper
 
  Slice the green beans and water chestnuts ahead of
  time, but cook just before meal time.  Serve
  tender-crisp and piping hot.  Thin, fresh asparagus
  spears can be substituted for green beans.
  
  Wash and drain green beans.  French-cut in half
  lengthwise; set aside. Combine chicken broth, ginger
  root and garlic in a frypan; bring to a boil. Add
  green beans and water chestnuts.  Sprinkle with soy
  sauce. Cover tightly and steam 7 to 8 min until
  tender-crisp.  If moisture has not dried off, remove
  cover, raise heat briefly and shake pan to evaporate
  remaining liquid.  Season to taste with pepper.
