Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 4 slices bacon
- 0.5 cup onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans, then set them aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet or sauté pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the cooked bacon and transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, leave about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease. If there isn't enough, supplement with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Step 4
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Step 5
Finely mince the garlic and add it to the skillet. Cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 6
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss them in the onion and garlic mixture.
Step 7
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and black pepper. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 8
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the green beans and stir well to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 9
Cover the skillet and let the green beans cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 10
Remove the lid and let the sauce reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 11
Add the crumbled bacon back into the skillet and toss everything together.
Step 12
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
