--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   6                    Garlic cloves, peeled
   2                    Quarter-sized slices ginger
   2                    Scallions, cut in 2" lengths
   1       tb           Vegetable oil
   1       t            Hot red-pepper flakes
   1       tb           Soy sauce
   1       tb           Rice wine vinegar
   1       lb           Green beans, tipped/tailed

  Peel garlic and ginger.  Smash garlic.  Trim scallions
  and cut into 2" lengths (don't be fancy, the next step
  is a food processor). Place garlic, ginger, and
  scallions into a food processor and process until
  finely chopped.  Remove to a 14x11x2" dish.  Add oil
  and pepper flakes.  Cook in microwave, uncovered, at
  100% for 3 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir in
  remaining ingredients, tossing gently to coat green
  beans.  Cook, uncovered, at 100% for 10-15 minutes,
  stirring 4-5 times.
  Serve hot or cold.
