Ingredients & Variations
GREEN BEANS: Trimmed fresh green beans are best, but frozen will do and they don’t even have to be thawed! Small, bite-sized broccoli and cauliflower florets, and brussels sprouts all work great in this recipe too.
SEASONINGS: Soy sauce, honey, and freshly grated ginger bring that sweet, tangy, and savory flavor to green beans. No time to mix a marinade? Use Hoisin sauce or a teriyaki sauce instead.
