Spicy Green Beans with Nameko Mushrooms & Shishito Peppers

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time18 minutes
Total Time28 minutes

Ingredients

  • 10 oz (280g) green beans
  • 4 oz (115g) nameko mushrooms (any other mushroom works also)
  • 5 oz (140g) shishito peppers (about 2 cups)
  • 4 TBS olive oil, divided
  • 1 tsp salt, divided
  • 1/2 small onion, sliced
  • 3 Thai chili peppers, sliced (use 2 if you want less spice)
  • 3 slices of fresh ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • 1 sprig of scallions, chopped
  • 1 1/2 TBS oyster sauce
  • 2 TBS chopped Thai basil, optional

Instructions

  • Prep the vegetables. Rinse and snap off the tough end of the green beans. Set aside. Rinse the nameko mushrooms and set aside. Give the peppers a quick rinse.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Grill the peppers until they blister. Roll the peppers around so that the sides of the pepper are grilled. It took me about 8 to 10 minutes. Season the peppers with a pinch of salt, and turn off the heat. Serve the peppers on a plate once they're done.
  • Heat another skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onions, chili pepper, and ginger to the oil. Let them sizzle for a minute and then add the garlic. When the onions start to turn translucent, add the green beans.
  • Turn down the heat a little, and spread the beans out to an even layer. Let it cook for a few minutes and then add the mushrooms and scallions and stir. The green beans will be done when they turn into a nice emerald green color (about a few more minutes). Add the Thai basil when the green beans are almost done. Season with the remaining salt and oyster sauce, and turn off the heat.
  • Serve the green bean stir-fry and the peppers with a side of rice.
  • Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container.
