Recipe - Green Beans With Water Chestnuts

12 ounce Fresh green beans
One half cup Chicken broth
1 teaspoon Finely chopped ginger root
1 small Clove garlic, finely chopped
1/3 cup Thin cut or sliced up water chestnuts
1 teaspoon Soy sauce
Freshly ground pepper

Slice the green beans and water chestnuts ahead of time, but cook just
before meal time. Serve tendercrisp and piping hot. Thin, fresh asparagus
spears can be substituted for green beans.

Wash and drain green beans. Frenchcut in half lengthwise; set aside.
Combine chicken broth, ginger root and garlic in a frypan; bring to a boil.
Add green beans and water chestnuts. Sprinkle with soy sauce. Cover tightly
and steam 7 to 8 min until tendercrisp. If moisture has not dried off,
remove cover, raise heat briefly and shake pan to evaporate remaining
liquid. Season to taste with pepper.
