Recipe Notes

The water helps the green beans to steam, but it isn’t so much that they will get soggy. At the end of the cooking, when adding the soy sauce and pepper, increasing the heat to medium high will help evaporate any extra liquid.

Garlic and ginger combine with the soy sauce for a wonderful Asian flavor. Simple ingredients, great results.
