What are some good green bean recipes? I want to highlight the green bean, not the other ingredients.?

Question

Of course I know Green Bean Casserole, but are there others that are not casserole recipes?
Green Beans are pretty healthy and I'd like to keep them that way.

Thanks.

Answer 2

I don't have measurements, as I usually just throw this together.

Fresh Green Beans
Dash Soy Sauce
Fresh Ginger to taste
Honey

Steam the Green Beans for about 5 min, drain and toss in a frying pan add soy sauce, fresh ginger and honey and cook on a rather high heat till bubbly! They are delicious. If you want to spice it up a little, add a dash of red pepper flakes. Enjoy
