Oriental Seasoned Green Beans

[DrPepper]

This is a different way to season green beans besides simply buttered.

1/2 pound fresh green beans washed, and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
1 tbsp canola or light olive oil
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/3 cup water
1 tsp low sodium soy sauce

1. Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet, and the green bean pieces. Cook, stirring constantly for 4 minutes.
2. Combine the water, ginger and soy sauce, and blend together with a fork.
3. Pour the ginger seasoned sauce over the green beans, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes or until beans are crisp but tender.
4. Add a little more soy sauce when serving.

Alternate, add a 1/2 tsp sesame oil to the water, ginger, soy sauce mix.
