--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  6                    Garlic cloves, peeled
  2                    Quarter-sized slices ginger
  2                    Scallions, cut in 2" lengths
  1       tb           Vegetable oil
  1       t            Hot red-pepper flakes

  1       lb           Green beans, tipped/tailed

 Peel garlic and ginger.  Smash garlic.  Trim scallions
 and cut into 2" lengths (don't be fancy, the next step
 is a food processor). Place garlic, ginger, and
 scallions into a food processor and process until
 finely chopped.  Remove to a 14x11x2" dish.  Add oil
 and pepper flakes.  Cook in microwave, uncovered, at
 100% for 3 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir in
 remaining ingredients, tossing gently to coat green
 beans.  Cook, uncovered, at 100% for 10-15 minutes,
 stirring 4-5 times.
 Serve hot or cold.
