Step 1

If using frozen green beans, follow the stovetop cooking instructions on the package. If using fresh green beans trim the ends on all the green beans (this can be tedious) Or you can just buy pre-trimmed beans which are a bit spendier. Fill a medium pot 2/3 with water and bring to a rapid boil. Add beans and boil 6 to 7 minutes, until crisp-tender.

Step 2

Drain beans immediately and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process, set beans aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over med/high heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Add mushrooms and onions and saute until tender (3-5 min).

Step 4

Add cooked beans to the skillet and drizzle with 1 Tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if needed, then stir everything to combine. Saute an extra minute, and it's done!
