Fried Green Beans with Garlic

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 lb green beans, trimmed
• Salt and pepper to taste, a couple of shakes of each from a shaker
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1 Tbs butter
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• Dash of soy sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Trim green beans if not purchased pre-trimmed.
2. Heat oil over medium-high heat for about 1 minute in a large fry pan.
3. Add green beans, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula. Beans will get brown spots in about 4 to 6 minutes.
4. Add water carefully and have the lid handy. The hot oil will make the water splatter. Cover and cook 2 minutes.
5. Remove the lid and continue cooking until water evaporates. (About 1 minute)
6. Stir in butter and garlic. Continue stirring for another 2-4 minutes or until beans are tender-crisp.
7. Add a dash of soy sauce to taste.
8. Serve and enjoy.
