BROWN BUTTER-GLAZED GREEN BEANS
Cooking butter until lightly browned is a simple way to add rich nutty flavor to an otherwise straightforward dish. In this recipe, I added fresh oregano and red pepper flakes to the butter as it browns, to infuse the fresh herb and a bit of heat into the butter.

Delicious, bold flavors from Aaron McCargo on Big Daddy's House! If you can't find long beans, use regular green beans, and feel free to cut them into bite size pieces if you like. I changed it just a little. Enjoy! Try this with asparagus! Yum!

CHINESE GREEN BEANS
I love the green beans found on Chinese Restaurant buffets! They are the bomb! I could easily pay for the entire buffet and only eat the green beans! I found this recipe while searching for the technique online as I was told the secret was that they were Dry-Fried. Oh Yum! Thanks to Ronda Parkenson for the recipe I adapted. I found that I did not need as much oil when making this recipe....so i reduced the oil amounts to what I used, if it does not look like enough for you, feel free to add more.
