Follow The Directions

01

Step
6 mins

Prepare the Green Beans: Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a rolling boil. Add the trimmed green beans, cover, and steam until they are bright green and tender-crisp, approximately 2 to 6 minutes.

02

Step
2 mins

Sauté Aromatics: While the green beans are steaming, melt the butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced onion and garlic; cook and stir until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

03

Step
5 mins

Toast Sesame Seeds: Add the sesame seeds to the onion and garlic mixture. Cook and stir continuously until the sesame seeds are lightly golden brown and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes. This toasting process enhances their nutty flavor.

04

Step
1 mins

Create the Heaven Sauce: Stir in the soy sauce, mayonnaise, Sriracha, and ground allspice into the saucepan with the onion, garlic, and sesame seeds. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and emulsified.

05

Step
1 mins

Combine and Serve: Add the steamed green beans to the sauce. Gently toss to coat each bean evenly. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of rice vinegar or a few drops of sesame oil to the sauce.
If you don't have a steamer, you can blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Kewpie mayonnaise adds a richer, tangier flavor to the sauce, but regular mayonnaise can be substituted.
Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your desired level of spice.
