- 5 Tablespoons (tbsp) smooth peanut butter
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) brown sugar
- 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) soy sauce

- While the green beans are cooling, prepare the peanut sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, peanuts, and miso paste. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Once the green beans are drained and cut, add them to the peanut sauce. Toss until the green beans are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Serve immediately as a warm side dish or chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing cold snack. Enjoy the savory and nutty flavors with a delightful crunch in every bite.
