  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   5       ts           Peanut oil or canola oil
   1       cl           Garlic -- peeled & minced
   1       ts           Ginger root -- minced
   1       lb           Green beans (2" pieces)
   1       ts           Sesame oil
     1/2   ts           Salt (optional)

  Heat the oil in a wok or skillet.  Add the garlic and ginger, and
  stir-fry the ingredients for 30 seconds.

  Add the green beans, and stir-fry them over high heat for 2 to 4
  minutes.

  Add the sesame oil and salt (if desired), toss the ingredients to
  coat them, and serve the beans.

  Preparation tip: The beans are supposed to be tender-crisp and
  shriveled or even charred a bit on the outside.  If you like
  tenderer beans, cover the pan after adding the sesame oil and salt,
  and continue cooking the beans for a few minutes over moderately
  low heat.
