Vegetables fill you up with few calories.

Yummmmy! What a great side dish! Hubby wanted Asparagus w/our fish and I do not care for that. So, I got some fresh green beans and an onion and made this! He didn't eat much of his veggie choice....he ate more of mine! : ) I will definitely make this one frequently!

I tried this side dish for the first time last night along side grilled chicken. It was great! The soy sauce and caramelized onions gave great flavor. My husband and I don't do red pepper so I used black pepper instead and it was fine. I also used regular soy instead of reduced sodium so I used half the salt than what the recipe called for. I figure you can always add salt, but can't take it away. The consistancy was perfect, we did not need to add any extra seasonings.
