Delicious canned green beans
Jan. 6th, 2019 06:58 pmSavory and delicious Chinese-style canned green beans.
From https://www.wicproject.com/recipe/delicious-chinese-style-canned-green-beans/amp/
Ingredients
1 14.5 oz can of green beans
1 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp olive oil
½ tsp Kosher salt
1 Tbsp minced garlic
Instructions
Mix water, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl and set aside.Melt the butter and mix with the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
Open and drain the can of green beans then pour into the melted butter and oil, along with ½ tsp Kosher salt. Toss carefully so that all the beans are coated.Continue to cook the green beans, tossing every few minutes, until they start to turn brown (about 15-20 minutes).Reduce heat to low and add the minced garlic. Stir for about 20 seconds - you want to smell the garlic.Pour the water-honey-soy sauce mixture into the pan and continue to stir until the mix becomes a glaze, about 30-45 seconds.Serve in a shallow dish and enjoy!
This recipe works with both canned and fresh green beans. If you go with fresh green beans, you’ll want about 3/4 lbs (12 oz) of green beans. You’ll also need to reduce the cooking time to 6-8 minutes. The canned green beans need a little more time to get brown since they’re usually soaking in water.
We start off with the sauce. You can tweak the proportions to taste – more honey will make it sweeter. More soy sauce will add some salt. You can also use low sodium soy sauce for this recipe as well. Once you mix the sauce, set it aside.
Next, we start cooking the drained green beans in the butter and oil. I found the canned green beans to be a little fragile, so I tossed gently in the pan. I also used a straight sided sauce pan for cooking the green beans.
The trickiest part of this easy recipe is knowing when to reduce the heat and add the garlic. You want the green beans to start looking a little shriveled up and turning brown.
