Low-Fat Spinach and Green Bean Stir Fry Recipe

Prepare Vegetables:

Trim and halve the fresh green beans. Wash the spinach leaves and remove the stems.

Make Stir Fry Sauce:

In a small bowl, mix together low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water in a separate bowl and add it to the sauce.

Cook Green Beans:

Heat olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until they are crisp-tender.

Add Spinach:

Add the fresh spinach to the pan and continue to stir fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Pour Sauce:

Pour the prepared stir fry sauce over the vegetables. Toss everything well to ensure the vegetables are coated evenly.

Cook Sauce:

Allow the sauce to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.

Garnish:

Garnish the low-fat spinach and green bean stir fry with sesame seeds if desired.

Serve:

Serve the stir fry as a nutritious and flavorful side dish or over brown rice for a complete meal.
