I know, another green bean recipe. What can I say? It is one of the few veggies the husband will eat (besides raw carrots and potatoes - even though I have been told potatoes don’t count any more). So I gave another green bean recipes a try. This one is from allrecipes.com. I thought this was a pretty good recipes, but the husband thought it was just an OK recipe. I over cooked the green beans, so I will take some credit for some of his lack luster. What it boiled down to: he didn’t like the sauce paired with the green beans. I, on the other hand, LOVED the sweet and spicy sauce. So this recipe is gets one thumbs up and one thumbs down. Try it out and let me know what you think!

The Steps:

1. Arrange a steamer basket in a pot over boiling water, and steam the green beans 3 to 4 minutes.
2. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, garlic, garlic chili sauce, and honey.
3. Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans, and fry for 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in the soy sauce mixture. Continue cooking and stirring 2 minutes, or until the liquid is nearly evaporated. Serve immediately.
