A delightful and quick-to-make side dish featuring green beans with a savory Asian-inspired twist.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the diced bacon. Cook until crispy, then remove and set aside.
Cooking the bacon first allows you to use its rendered fat for added flavor.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Lower the heat if the garlic starts to brown too quickly to avoid bitterness.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir to combine. Pour in the soy sauce and cook, stirring frequently, until the beans are tender-crisp.
Cover the skillet for a minute or two to help the beans cook evenly.
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste and stir in the cooked bacon.
Adding the bacon at the end keeps it crispy.
Serve the green beans warm as a side dish or light meal.
Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or a drizzle of sesame oil for extra flavor.
