Makes two to four servings
Prep time: 30 minutes, including soaking
Ingredients
- 4 cups dried wakame
- 1 lb. green beans
- 4 tbs. cooking oil or fat
- 1 tsp. wheat-free tamari
- 2 tbs. prepared sesame seeds
Directions

- When the wakame is soft, remove the water and slice into long, thin strips, discarding the center rib. Trim the green beans and place in a large pot of boiling water for two minutes.
- Drain and run under cold water until cool to retain crispness and color.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat.
- Sauté the green beans for three minutes. Add the cooking oil and wakame. Continue to sauté for three to four minutes.
