Asian Green Beans

This is Banana's recipe for green beans that we have used in the past for holiday meals. I enjoy this alternative if the green beans aren't going to have bacon with them.

Asian Green Beans (from Banana)

1 lb green beans, washed and end snipped
1 cup water

Cut green beans (if desired). Add to water in a fry pan, cover, and boil/steam for 10-15 min or until tender.


2 T. olive oil
1/3 cup slithered or sliced almonds

Drain water and add oil and almonds. Sauté for 2-5 minutes.

1 T. honey
1 T. soy sauce
Salt, to taste (about 1/4 tsp.)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Mix above ingredients into a sauce and add to the beans. Heat and serve.
