Sweet and Salty Green Beans
My daughter and I devoured this dish last night and I hope you enjoy it too. The not so secret ingredients are fish sauce and the erythritiol. It is an Asian style side dish but it can pair with anything.
Fish Sauce
Have you ever cooked with fish sauce? My go to ingredient to add unami is Red Boat Fish Sauce. Don’t let the name fool you, its yummy. Red Boat fish sauce as contains zero sugars. I have been using it for years thanks to Nom Nom Paleo. From Asian food to marinades this stuff is amazing! Fish sauce pairs well with cilantro, lime juice, garlic, chicken, beef and lemon juice. I made a simple sauce that can work with different vegetables in a pinch.
