Asian Green Beans Recipe

This is a great way to cook up some healthy vegetarian green beans for a quick and nutritious vegetable side dish. Inspired by the flavors of Asia with soy sauce and sherry, this easy green bean recipe is both vegetarian and vegan. A reviewer gave this recipe five out of five stars and said, "I find these green beans to be crisp and very flavor(ful) and very easy to do and I feel like they are very healthy and good for my family."

Ingredients:

• 1 pound green beans, trimmed
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp rice wine or dry sherry
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Preparation:

Heat the water in a wok or a large saucepan. Carefully add the beans and steam until tender but crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the vegetable broth, soy sauce, rice wine and the sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar.

Wipe the excess water from the wok or saucepan, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir-fry for one minute. Add the beans and sauce, and cook for two minutes, stirring often.
