Blanch green beans and toss in teriyaki sauce. Use either a good one found in any grocery store in the ethnic food isle.
Or to make 2 cups of your own sauce: Combine 1 cup water, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 TBSP brown sugar, 1 minced garlic clove and 1 TBSP fresh grated ginger in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Dissolve 2 TBSP cornstarch in 1/4 cup of cold water and add to sauce. Stir constantly to allow the sauce to thicken.
Chill salad before serving.
Note: I served my beans hot as a vegetable dish and it was good.
