Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste and the beans. Cook until the beans are tender but still firm, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In large skillet, heat the oil with the mustard seeds. As soon as seeds begin to pop, about 2 to 3 minutes, add the scallions. Saute for 20 seconds, then add the beans, tossing them until the oil is evenly distributed.

  3. Step 3

    Add the cilantro and toss again. Taste for salt and serve.
