Best Sweet And Tangy Green Beans Recipes

EASY SWEET GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Heat water in a pot large enough to hold all of your beans until boiling.
• Wash, trim and cut your green beans into bite sized pieces while you are waiting for the water to boil.
• When water is boiling and your beans are prepared dump them into the boiling water for about 5 minutes or bright green.
• While beans are boiling grab a medium bowl and combine soy sauce, melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until blended. Set aside.
• When beans are cooked drain them in a colander in the sink or how ever you prefer. Return beans to the pot and add the soy mixture on top of the beans. Toss beans in mixture until they are all coated. Serve immediately.
• I always serve this dish with rice. I usually serve the beans beside or on top of the rice with a little extra sauce drizzled all over!

LAUREL'S SPICY SWEET AND SOUR GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• In a large pot of salted water, bring beans to a boil and simmer for 12-15 minutes. Drain.
• While beans are cooking, fry bacon in a large non-stick pan until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Cool and break into bite-sized pieces. (Alternatively, you can cut the bacon into bite sized pieces and fry them until crisp, remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.).
• Add onions to bacon grease in the pan and cook until soft. (If you feel you have too much grease, remove some first and save for another recipe. I like to leave at least 1/4 cup of grease in the pan.).
• In a bowl mix remaining ingredients and add to pan, simmering and stirring until the sauce thickens and has a nice thick syrupy consistency.
• Add beans to the pan and stir to coat the beans with sauce. Add the bacon and stir till combined. Serve.
