INGREDIENTS

250 g green beans
3 tablespoons white miso paste
3 tablespoons mirin
1/2 teaspoon English or Japanese mustard
A little grated lemon zest

MAY BE USEFUL

Ice for cooling the beans

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Place the beans into lightly salted boiling water and cook uncovered – just long enough for them to remain firm, crisp, and green. The Japanese say that properly cooked beans should hold their shape and not bend. After cooking, immediately cool them in cold water or a bowl of ice to preserve their fresh green color. Let them drain and cut into approximately 4cm pieces.
2
In a bowl, mix miso, mirin, and mustard, then add lemon zest. Add the beans and mix thoroughly so they are fully coated.
