Green Bean and Almond Stir-Fry
This simple stir-fry is a quick and easy way to get your greens. The green beans are cooked until tender-crisp, and the almonds add a nice crunchy texture. The sauce is made with soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil, and it gives the dish a slightly sweet and savory flavor.
Stir-fries are a staple of Chinese cuisine, and they're a great way to get a quick and healthy meal on the table. This particular stir-fry is inspired by the classic Chinese dish of stir-fried green beans with garlic and ginger. I've added almonds to the mix for a bit of extra crunch and flavor, and I've used honey to give the sauce a slightly sweet and savory flavor.
