Mongolian Green Beans

Mongolian Beef is one of my favorite things to order at P.F. Chang’s, but I still haven’t quite mastered making it at home.  I always seem to have trouble cooking with flank steak.  However, I have come up with a great way to serve green beans, using a Mongolian-esque sauce.  These are delicious, and I’m sure you could throw some chicken or shrimp in the sauce too.  I served these with Sticky Chicken and basmati rice.  Yes, it was a saucy meal, but I couldn’t make up my mind about which sauce was better.  They’re both delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1/3 C soy sauce
• 1/3 C brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 2 tsp vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger or minced ginger
• 1 Tbsp minced garlic
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
• fresh green beans

Combine all ingredients but green beans in a small bowl using a whisk.  Add to green beans in a large skillet and cook on medium heat until beans are done.
