Chinese Style Green Beans
Delicious Chinese green beans bursting with garlic and sweet onion flavors. Perfect dish served with rice or noodles.
This dish is something I make at home often. It’s simple and takes about 15 minutes total. I love to eat this with rice or noodles, but you really can pair it with meats too. These green beans have a nice crunch.
Preferred Doneness: Now I know this is a personal preference of how crunchy or not crunchy green beans should be. I prefer mine with a slight crunch and this recipe represents that. For the best green beans, cook them to your preferred preference.
