- Cook the beans until they are tender-crisp: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Add flavorings to the beans while cooking: You can add a variety of flavorings to the beans while cooking, such as garlic, onion, bacon, or herbs. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Serve the beans immediately: Green beans are best served immediately after cooking. This will help to preserve their鮮嫩的crisp texture.
