Preparation
Step 1
Begin frying the bacon in a large skillet. Start boiling a large pot of water. Place beans in a colander and rinse them well. Then snap the ends off and snap them in half.
Prepare the sauce by mixing sugar, soy sauce, and salt in a small bowl.
Make sure your onions are sliced, garlic is pressed
Remove bacon from pan and drain on a paper towel. Pour all but 2 TB bacon drippings out of pan, or use some olive oil and heat pan to medium-high heat. When the pan is hot...
--Add onions and garlic. Give them a quick stir and then...
--Add beans to boiling water. Place colander in a clean sink. Boil for one minute; Meanwhile, stir the onions and garlic so they don't scorch. After one minute, drain beans in the colander in the sink.
--Once beans have been drained, add them to the onions and garlic. Stir fry 2-3 more minutes.
--Give your sauce a quick stir and then pour on top of the beans. Keep stir-frying until the beans get coated. Continue to stir fry for another 2 minutes.
--Add crumbled bacon and lots of freshly-ground pepper to the beans. Keep stir frying until the sauce sticks to the beans and the bacon. Transfer to a serving dish and allow to stand a few minutes so the beans cool down a bit and the glaze thickens up a little.
