Sweet Chili Green Beans

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:
1 lb. green beans, trimmed
4 strips of bacon, chopped
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced OR 1 ¼ teaspoons ginger powder
3 thai chiles, minced, OR 2 poblano peppers, seeds removed and minced
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce OR 4 teaspoons hot chili sauce + 2 teaspoons sugar-free sweetener
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1/4 c. water
sesame oil, optional
toasted sesame seeds, optional

Preparation:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until beans are a bright green. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease from the pan. Add onion, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the ginger, minced pepper, chili sauce, fish sauce, and water. Add green beans and toss to coat. Saute for 8-10 minutes, until water evaporates, the sauce thickens, and the beans become tender.

Stir in bacon and garnish plated green beans with sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired.
