Al Dente Green Beans in Soy Garlic Sauce image

I wanted to make a light, low fat side dish using fresh beans that was similar to a chinese version we like at the buffet. This turned out different but GREAT! The balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and olive oil worked great together. This dish is great hot as a side dish and the leftovers are awesome cold in a salad or just as they are.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs fresh green beans
1 -2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 -2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Greek salad dressing (can omit if you don't have it just add a little extra vinegar)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
salt

Steps:

  • In a 2 - 3 quart sauce pan, cook the green beans in well salted water until a little past crisp. We like them al dente, not mushy and not crispy. Drain and let rest in colander a minute.
  • In the saucepan, add the olive oil and garlic and sautee one to two minutes. Add remaining ingredients and heat throughly. Toss with green beans.
  • **These are definitely better the next day after marinating so you might do well to make tons and eat the majority the next day.
