to be used in the recipe
Add a small amount of oil and a pinch of sea salt
How to GRILL Green Beans:
- Add trimmed clean green beans to a bowl
- Add a small amount of oil (neutral oil mixed with sesame oil) and a pinch of sea salt; mix in
- Set the grill to 400 – 425 degrees – add grill basket or grilling mat
- Grill undisturbed until blackened, toss with tongs
- Remove when nicely charred, but still tender-crisp
- OPTIONAL METHOD:
Skillet Stir-Fried Blackened Green Beans:
Heat a cast iron over high heat. Turn on exhaust fan. When the pan is very hot and smoking, add half the beans in a single layer. Do not stir, let sizzle and start to blacken. When smoking and started to blacken (check one) stir until blackened mostly all over – but still crisp- tender, about 4 minutes.

Lightly charred yet still a little tender-crisp!
now it is ready to drizzle on the Miso-Cashew Dressing,
Sliced Red Scallions, Toasted Sesame Seeds and Caramelized Cashews
White Miso, Soaked Raw Cashews, Garlic, Ginger, Tamari (gluten free), Sugar, Honey and Rice Vinegar
Genius Miso-Cashew Dressing!
Miso, while very flavorful and fermented – supports gut health… although it is salty!
See how I take care of that below
My Method: The Best Miso-Cashew Dressing:
- Soak Raw Cashews in boiling water for 30 minutes; drain
- Add them to a blender with some filtered water
- Add remaining flavoring ingredients and whirl in a blender from low to highest speed for 1 full minute – until very creamy
- Cashews add an amazing creaminess – and cuts down on the saltiness of the dressing
