Pan Fried Green Beans with Soy Sauce
Inspired by Southern crack green beans, these Pan Fried Green Beans made with soy sauce are the easiest veggie side dish.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 350 g green beans ends removed
- ¼ cup water
- 1.5 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoon sliced almonds
- Red chili flakes optional
Instructions
- In a pan over medium pan over medium high heat add the green beans and water. Cover and allow the beans to steam for about 3-5 minutes or until the beans are fork tender and bright green in colour (you do not want to overcook the beans).
- After 5 minutes, remove the lid, most of the water should now be evaporated. Add the butter, toss the beans around to ensure they are coated and the butter has melted fully.
- Once the butter is melted, reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey and soy sauce. Stir and season with the garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Finish with almonds and serve when warm and sprinkle with red chili flakes if desired.
Notes
If you are looking to use frozen green beans, I recommend defrosting them in the microwave, draining any excess water and adding them directly to a pan. You may skip the steaming step and proceed right to step 2. You can also try my frozen roasted green beans.
