Ginger-Garlic Green Beans

  



One of my favorite pieces of kitchen equipment is my steamer. It's a wonderfully simple way to cook any vegetables perfectly, especially green beans! This recipe was featured in Cooking Light Magazine in a feature called "Around the World with Green Beans". It calls for steaming the green beans.

 




My family likes ginger, and they like green beans so it was no surprise they liked this recipe. I like the warmth the garlic and chicken flavoring add to this recipe. Instead of using hot water and chicken-flavored bouillon granules called for in the original recipe I use low sodium chicken stock. Now we have two favorite greenbean and ginger recipes!

Try our Green Beans with Ginger Butter recipe too!

Either of these green bean and ginger recipes make fabulous Thanksgiving or Christmas side dishes!
