Personal Notes:
Adjust amounts of ingredients to your liking. More green beans means more water to the pan. May need more salt and pepper to taste.

My mom likes to use fresh sliced garlic instead of minced. May also add a little soy sauce to the water to add flavor.

This is a great summer favorite when the green beans are in season!
