2tablespoonstapioca flour{also called tapioca starch}

Instructions
Prepare the green beans:First, juice the lemon and set juice aside. Slice the peel into quarters. Put the green beans and lemon peel in a skillet with enough water to barely cover.Steam for 6 to 10 minutes, until your desired doneness, and then drain the water off and put the green beans in a bowl and put them in the freezer for a few minutes (this stops them from further cooking) while you are cooking the mushrooms.
Make the sauce: Combine the Mother Mix (or equivalent ingredients), water, and garlic and onion powder in the blender. Blend for one minute and set the sauce aside until your green beans are ready.
Cook the mushrooms:Add the butter to the skillet and heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until the butter is absorbed and the mushrooms are getting a little crispy and brown.Add the sauce into the mushrooms and stir and cook for a minute or two until the sauce thickens up.Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
Finish the dish by adding in the green beans and simmering until green beans are hot. Add half of the crispy fried onions.Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lemon, salt, pepper, etcetera to taste.Serve topped with remaining onions.
