Notes
- Make sure to remove the ends from the green beans and wash them well before using.
- Add other ingredients as per your tastes to spice things up a bit: garlic, onion, almond slivers, cayenne pepper, parmesan cheese, ketchup, carrots, etc.
- If the beans are still more crunchy than you would like at the end of 10 mins or if it seems that they are getting crispy but not cooked through, then add ¼ cup of water to the hot pan and place a lid on the top. The beans will steam and soften.
- Consider some sauces with your green beans as well. Soy Sauce is a favorite as is Yum Yum Sauce.
