instructions
    1

    Start by preparing the artichoke. Trim the leaves and cut off the top when necessary. Steam it for about 15 minutes or until tender.

    2

    While the artichoke is cooking, drain and rinse the kidney beans. Set aside.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

    4

    Add the kidney beans to the skillet along with the teriyaki sauce. Stir well to combine, and let it cook for about 5 minutes on medium heat to warm the beans through.

    5

    Chop the cooked artichoke into smaller pieces and add it to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    6

    Garnish with chopped scallions right before serving.
