Yield: 5 servings

Source: " The Complete Diabetes Prevention Plan "

 

INGREDIENTS

 

- 1 tablespoon canola oil

- 4 cups 1-1/2 inch pieces fresh green beans

- 2 tablespoons water

- 1 medium-large yellow onion, thinly sliced

- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic

- 2 tablespoons light teriyaki sauce

 

DIRECTIONS

 

Place the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the green

beans and water and place over medium heat. Cover and cook

for 4 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally. Add the onions,

cover, and cook for an additional 4 minutes, until the green

beans are tender and the onions are lightly browned. Add a

little more water during cooking if needed, but only enough

to prevent scorching.

 

Add the ginger, garlic, and teriyaki sauce. Cover and

cook over low heat for a minute or two to blend the

flavors. If necessary, cook uncovered for a minute or

two to evaporate any excess liquid. Serve hot.
