As a matter of fact it makes me a little sad when they’re gone before the new planting season comes around in the Spring.Fresh Green Beans on the other hand are a little harder to find recipes for. Other than putting them in a green bean casserole or steaming them and adding butter what do you do with them? This recipe answered that question. Green Beans Asian Style is so easy and delicious that it’ll be a regular here.  The sauce has 3 simple ingredients in it, the cook time is about 10 minutes . I thawed the frozen green beans and red peppers from our freezer (you can definitely use fresh when you have them) and sliced up a large onion.  They went into my cast iron skillet with about a tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat.  They cook long enough to caramelize the peppers and onions and char the green beans slightly.I don’t think there’s anything that compares to the aroma of peppers and onions caramelizing in a hot pan. The aroma makes you hungry for a taste of what you already know is scrumptious.  Beautifully caramelized onions and peppers are sweet to the taste and make the green beans just that much better.The sauce tastes a whole 2 minutes to mix together and is added to the pan right before serving.   The Asian influence of the sauce enhances the flavors in the pan and lifts them up to magnificent.  Whether you’re using fresh green beans and peppers your garden yielded or you bought at your favorite Farmers Market or store, your going to love this delicious green bean side dish. Green Beans Asian Style, it’s what’s for dinner and it’s delicious, ENJOY!  PIN IT FOR LATERLooking for more recipes from Bunny’s Warm Oven, Try These!Caramel Pecan Bars...Creamy Delicious Grape Salad...Chicken Breast in Sour Cream Sauce…Marinated Cheese Peppers and Olives...Chicken Enchiladas with Homemade Red Enchilada Sauce 0 from 0 votes PrintGreen Beans Asian Style The sauce tastes a whole 2 minutes to mix together and is added to the pan right before serving.   The Asian influence of the sauce enhances the flavors in the pan and lifts them up to magnificent.  Course Asian, dinner, Fresh green beans, green beans, Side Dish Cuisine Asian Keyword Green Beans Asian Style Prep Time 20 minutes Cook Time 15 minutes Total Time 35 minutes Servings 4 Author bunnyIngredients 1 pound fresh or frozen green beans if using frozen, thaw completely 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes or more to your liking 1 red pepper sliced if using frozen, thaw completely 1 large onion sliced 1 Tablespoon olive oilInstructionsIf using fresh green beans: snap the ends of the beans.
