Prepare cooked, chopped bacon—this should be plenty for the recipe. If needed, you can substitute with vegetable oil. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce and sugar. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of bacon fat or more in a large skillet over medium low. Add 1 tablespoon of bacon fat to the skillet. Sauté the bell peppers until your desired tenderness, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove and set aside with the bacon.
Keep heat at medium-low. Add another tablespoon or a bit more of bacon fat if needed. Sauté the onions until softened and slightly caramelized. Remove and set aside
Increase the heat to medium. If needed, add another tbsp of bacon fat. Add the green beans and dried chili peppers to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally until the green beans reach your desired level of tenderness.
Reduce heat to low. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the green beans and stir to coat. Add the sautéed bell peppers, onions, apple cider vinegar, and ginger. Mix well. Adjust the flavors. Cook to meld the flavors. Serve as is, or mix in the chopped bacon pieces!
So good!
