{Recipe} "Chinese Buffet" Green Beans

I don't make exciting vegetables very often because I don't usually have the energy. However, I needed something to go with the Baked Sweet & Sour Chicken I was making. After googling "Chinese side dish" I came across this recipe from the ever so original website, AllRecipes. It is super easy and anything that involves garlic has me sold.

How hard was this for Rachel to make? Not too hard!

INGREDIENTS

1/2 lbs green beans                   

1 tbsp sesame oil

2 cloves garlic (I used 3) thinly sliced

1 tbsp white sugar

2 tbsp oyster sauce (good luck finding this in the grocery store)

2 tsp soy sauce

Note: I spent 20 mins looking for oyster sauce

and never found it. So I used more soy sauce.

DIRECTIONS

Heat sesame oil in large skillet over med-high eat. Add in garlic. Be careful not to burn garlic. (I burned some so I added more) Cook until edges turn slightly brown (20 seconds).

Add in green beans. Cook & stirl until beans begin to soften, about 5 minutes. 

Stir in sugar & soy sauce.  Beware the soy sauce doesn't enjoy being cooked and will jump up and attack you. It hurts.

Continue cooking & stirring for several minutes until the beans have attained desire degree of tenderness. Enjoy!
