Easy and very tasty Asian side dish! I didn't steam the green beans (after adding the soy sauce and water) quite 5 minutes...I like my beans crisp-tender. Thank you! -
I was very pleased to find this tonight as I had some pine nuts and fresh green beans to use up! Much to my dismay, I found that I did not have any garlic, so I decided to spice it up with Srirachi sauce (asian chile garlic sauce) and it turned out great! thanks whisper!

I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in.
In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
