Teriyaki Green Beans

January 19, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Teriyaki Green Beans have all the flavor of your favorite take-out food, but you get to control the amount of sugar and salt that goes in.

Teriyaki Green Beans on Wooden Table

Most people look at me like I have three heads when I tell them I don’t eat Chinese food. It’s not that I don’t enjoy it; I too am a sucker for savory/sweet foods swimming in sauce. And fried rice. And noodles. What I really mean when I say that I don’t eat Chinese food is that I don’t eat it at restaurants.

Now, let me back up for a minute because I know teriyaki is Japanese. But the thing is, I eat Japanese food out all the time (hello miso soup, sashimi, and sushi rolls, to name just a few of my favorites). Teriyaki, with its sweet and salty sauce isn’t something I’m likely to order out (same thing with all those deliciously saucy Chinese dishes).

A while back I discovered that I’m very sensitive to MSG (a serious case of head fog and lethargy always chase me after I have something that contains it), and also, I have a pretty good inkling that those saucy dishes contain waaaaaay more sugar and salt than I’m comfortable eating in one sitting. So instead, I get my fix at home.

There’s no reason a teriyaki dish has to have meat (although you could sauté up some chicken and toss it into this green bean dish and it surely wouldn’t suffer for it). But green beans done up like this really are something special. When I make this recipe, I’m hard-pressed not to eat the entire dish of it myself and just call it dinner.

Do you have a favorite take-out dish that you want to see remade into something healthy?

Teriyaki Green Beans have all the flavor of your favorite take-out food, but you get to control the amount of sugar and salt that goes in.
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or coconut oil if you want a slight coconut flavor)
  • 1 lb (450 g) green beans, stems trimmed
  • 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 4 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • ½ tablespoon fresh-grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or tamari sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for topping
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add all ingredients except the sesame seeds and bring up to a boil. Cover the skillet, turn the heat down to simmer, and cook until the beans are tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Uncover the skillet, turn the heat up to medium-high, and cook until the liquid is thickened.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top.

The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣
