These garlic green beans were fantastic. You know those tender-crisp, salty and delicious green beans they serve in Chinese restaurants? This is how it’s done!
Sauté the green beans for a few minutes, then add a little water and steam until tender. So good! Adding a little salt at the end makes the green beans taste saltier than they really are.
I served these garlic green beans as a side with Easy Beef Lasagna Rolls.
