The 7 Day Detox Diet - Green Beans and Mushrooms in Peanut Soy Sauce

Green Beans and Mushrooms in Peanut Soy Sauce

Ingredients:

To prepare:

Wash the green beans and cut off the tips and throw away or save for soup. Cut the green beans into half and set aside.

Core the cabbage and separate the leaves and wash before cutting into julienne or long, thin strips. Don’t wash the mushrooms. Instead, wipe them clean with a damp paper towel before cutting into quarters or cutting into thin slices.

Let’s prepare the sauce first. Pour in the tablespoon of olive oil or vegetable oil in a small saucepan and let it heat up. Add the chopped peanuts and let it brown a little to release the flavors and roast them. Add the light soy sauce and sauté. Season the sauce with muscovado sugar and a little sesame oil. You can also add coconut milk if you have it available.

For the vegetables, pour the tablespoon of olive oil in a medium-sized pan on medium heat. Add the minced garlic first but be careful not to let it brown. Add the mushrooms first; sauté with the garlic. Add the green beans and the cabbage and sauté until tender. You can also add bean sprouts if you’d like but be sure to cook them thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper.

Combine with the peanut soy sauce and serve. Ideally served with some fried tofu.
