Method
Step 1
Place 1 tsp. of the toasted sesame seeds in a mini food processor and pulse for about 15 seconds to make a coarse ground sesame dust.
Step 2
In a small bowl combine the rice vinegar, dashi, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil and the 1 tsp. of ground sesame seeds.
Step 3
Heat a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the Fruit Fresh and the green beans and blanch for 2 minutes. Drain and immediately put the green beans in ice water to cool and set the color.
Step 4
Pat the green beans dry. Place on a serving plate and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Garnish with the remaining 1 tsp. of toasted sesame seeds.
Step 5
Note: I make homemade dashi which is quick and easy. Add it to soups, stews and sauce. You can find instant dashi in the supermarket. Just add hot water.
