Ingredients

  • 2oz (50g) Pancetta (about 6-8 very thin slices)
  • 16oz (450g) Green beans, frozen
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt* or to taste
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper or to taste
  • Chili flakes, to taste (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat up a skillet to medium/high heat. Cut the pancetta into small pieces, however big or small you like them to be. Add to the skillet and fry until desired consistency is reached, about 5 minutes.
  2. Remove bacon from skillet and place on a paper towel to soak up the extra fat. Remove extra fat from the skillet, if there is a lot. Then add the green beans. Sauté the beans until they are warmed through.
  3. Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, butter, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper. Still everything to combine.
  4. Keep stirring until the sugar is melted and the sauce is thickened and coats everything well.
  5. Remove from heat and serve.

Notes

  • * If you are using bacon instead of Pancetta, omit the salt or only add after tasting as Pancetta is not as salty as bacon.
