Provided by dfwenigma

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Green Beans

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ pounds green beans, trimmed, or more to taste
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
1 teaspoon peanut oil
1 cup chopped onion
6 slices bacon, or more to taste
¾ cup brown sugar
¾ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place green beans in a microwave-safe bowl and add enough water to make a layer in the bottom; heat in microwave until green beans are tender yet firm to the bite, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat peanut oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer onion to a bowl and discard any remaining oil.
  • Place the bacon in the wok or skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and cut into bite-size pieces. Reserve 4 to 5 tablespoons bacon drippings in the wok.
  • Mix onion, brown sugar, vinegar, and liquid smoke in the reserved bacon drippings; cook and stir until sauce is bubbling and brown sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add green beans to sauce and stir to coat; cook until green beans are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Trim the ends of the green beans before cooking. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to ice water to stop the cooking process. This will help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stir-fry. This will add flavor and color to the dish.
  • Add a protein source to your stir-fry, such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu. This will make the dish more filling and satisfying.
  • Serve your stir-fry over rice or noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Fresh green beans are a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Stir-frying is a quick and easy way to cook green beans, and it results in a delicious and healthy dish.
