Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
12 oz-1 lb. fresh green beans, trimmed, keeping beens long
1 T. honey
1 T. unsalted butter
2 T. extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
1 T. minced garlic
Directions:
Directions:
1. Combine the soy sauce, honey, 1 T. water in a small dish and set near the stove. Set a shallow serving dish near the stove, too.
2. In a 10-inch straight-sided saute' pan, heat the butter with the olive oil over med-high heat. Wehen the butter is melted, add the green beans and ½ tsp. salt and toss with tongs to coat well. Cook, turning the beans occasionally, until most are well browned, shrunken, and tender, 7-8 minutes. (The butter in the pan wil have turned dark brown.)
3. Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic, and cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof rubber spatula, until the garlic is softened and fragrant, 15 to 20 seconds. Carefully add the soy mixture (you'll need to scrape the honey into the pan). Cook, stirring, until the liquid reduces to a glazey consistency that coats the beans, 30 to 45 seconds.
4. Immediately transfer the beans to the serving dish, scraping the pan with the spatula to get all of the garlicky sauce. Let sit for a few minutes and then serve warm.

Note: You will need to double the recipe if serving more than 4 people. This recipe pairs well with any Chinese main dish, such Orange Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Fried Rice.

This quick side dish of green beans glazed with a sweet, garlicky soy sauce makes a fabulous partner for any main course. Choose young, fresh green beans that are all about the same size. My family enjoys this recipe whenever I prepare it!
