Steps:
- Heat water in a pot large enough to hold all of your beans until boiling.
- Wash, trim and cut your green beans into bite sized pieces while you are waiting for the water to boil.
- When water is boiling and your beans are prepared dump them into the boiling water for about 5 minutes or bright green.
- While beans are boiling grab a medium bowl and combine soy sauce, melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until blended. Set aside.
- When beans are cooked drain them in a colander in the sink or how ever you prefer. Return beans to the pot and add the soy mixture on top of the beans. Toss beans in mixture until they are all coated. Serve immediately.
- I always serve this dish with rice. I usually serve the beans beside or on top of the rice with a little extra sauce drizzled all over!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the beans, and cut them into 1-2 inch pieces.
- Blanch the green beans: This will help to preserve their color and crispness. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the green beans, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain the beans and rinse them with cold water.
- Make the sauce: In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the green beans to the sauce: Stir to coat the beans in the sauce, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are heated through.
- Serve immediately: Sweet and tangy green beans are best served hot. You can garnish them with sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
