4 spring onions

1

Sauce.

1 T. corn flour (corn starch)

1 T. water

2 tsp seeded mustard

1/4 cup brown sugar

Trim beans and string if necessary. Arrange beans in piles of 10. Cut spring onions into strips and blanch until just tender. Tie up each bean bundle with a blanched onion strip. Arrange bean bundles in a bamboo steamer and place steamer over simmering water. Cover and steam for 5-8 mins, or until beans are tender. Blend cornflour and water into a paste in a small pan. Add mustard, brown sugar, orange rind and juice. Stir over low heat until the sauce has thickened. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce over the bean bundles. These are delicious!
