Preparation

Step 1

The fish sauce smells like dirty socks and it is a very strong flavoring agent, but you will be amazed at how good it tastes when added to the vegetables.

See how little you can use to make the green beans really pop! I love salt, so I probably use too much :)

The entire recipe has 180 calories (4 PointsPlus) and would make a great meal with some of your favorite rice. Just don't add any more salt to it because it is 1,200 mg of sodium for the entire dish. I was able to slash the oil and salt, but it is still pretty high for those concerned with heart disease.

(makes 4 side dish servings)

Mix sugar, fish sauce, and oyster sauce into a small bowl and set aside. Heat oil in saute pan until hot. Add garlic and cook for 15 seconds. Add green beans and stir until desired doneness. I sometimes add 1/4 cup water to the pan to steam them along. When cooked, mix in sauce. Enjoy!
