The bright gingery sauce on these green beans is delicious and so simple to whip up. It's perfection on either hot or cold beans, but I also really love it tossed with cooked shrimp. —Marina Castle Kelley, Canyon Country, California

    Used yellow wax beans for this recipe. Love the pop of the ginger...very refreshing on the lightly blanched, crispy beans. It's a keeper! Did add a light garnish of parsley on the yellow beans.
