Asian Recipe ⊷ Green Bean Okazu

This was my favorite dinner growing up. It's a quick and easy way to get picky kids to eat green beans, because of the sweet sauce. It's great served over rice, or alone.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1 cup water
• ¼ cup white sugar
• ¼ cup soy sauce

Cooking Directions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until evenly brown; drain excess fat.
2. Stir in green beans and about 1 cup water. Cover, and cook until beans are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Season with sugar and soy sauce, and cook uncovered for 5 minutes.
