  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the green beans. You can also snap the beans in half if you prefer.
  • Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked green beans will be mushy.
  • Use a good quality honey: The honey you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a honey that is flavorful and not too sweet.
  • Add the garlic and ginger at the end of cooking: This will help to preserve their flavor.
  • Serve the green beans immediately: Green beans are best served hot or warm. They can be reheated, but they will lose some of their flavor.
