Description Boil the green beans until just done but till a little snappy, about 4 minutes if fresh and thin and 6 minutes if thick. Rinse briefly so they stay warm; set aside.

Combine sauce ingredients (water to ginger) in saucepan. Cook over medium heat until bubbling. Drizzle in the cornstarch/water mixture, stirring constantly until thickened. Reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes, until liquid is reduced and it is a rich, thick brown.
