CHINESE RESTAURANT-STYLE GREEN BEANS
If you like the green beans served at most Chinese restaurants, I'm pretty sure you'll love these. I usually cook my green beans "country-style," but sometimes I just have to switch things up a bit. This is my own recipe for green beans that are a little sweet, a little savory and just deliciously different! They're a wonderful side dish to accompany fish, chicken or pork and even the children just might ask for more.
