Description

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of fresh green beans, trimmed
• 1 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 - 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of fresh ginger, minced
• 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 cup honey
• Juice of 1/2 a small lemon

Directions

• Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. Add a bit of salt and add your green beans.
• Cook for about 5 minutes or so, until the beans are a bit tender and drain.
• Rinse the beans under ice cold water to stop the cooking so that they retain a bit of bite. Set aside.
• In a large non-stick saucepan over medium high heat, add the soy sauce.
• When the soy sauce is heated, add the garlic and ginger, and saute for 2 minutes.
• Add the red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant.
• Slowly pour in in the honey and stir to combine. Add in the lemon juice and bring the sauce mixture to a bubbling simmer.
• Add the green beans and stir to coat the crisp beans with the honey ginger sauce. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Enjoy!
