“I need something new for fresh green bean from the garden.”

Fresh from the garden! Not canned! Yuck. You just don’t want to put anything that is wet into a deep fry of oil! The water will explode into steam! Very dangerous! Just make sure that your fresh beans are dry when you drop them into your wok.

Ok, thought so but just checking.

Fresh green beans. My mom and later I cooked them with some sliced onion and cut up bacon (we used raw but now I think I'd fry and crumble). Wonderful flavor.

My mom creamed veggies but I'm not very good at it.

For special occasions, we cooked the beans then sprinkled browned in butter and drained on paper towels slivered almonds over them. Yum!

Now I'm crazy for that green bean fried onion casserole.

Green beans have been good in Chinese food I've bought but I don't like them too crunchy because I can't chew very well.

One summer years ago I shaded my porch with runner beans, got lots of fresh ones from that, have to use when young. Love Italian beans. I've also canned green beans in the pressure cooker but it broke.
