This dressing was awesome on Ree’s blistered green beans. I added about 2 teaspoons of sugar as well to suit my taste! Delicious
Awesome!!! I tried tonight and my friend loved it so much he requested I make more of the sauce so he could dip his chicken in…I want you to know he is very guarded when it comes to his fried chicken…absolutely wonderful favor!!!
Excellent!! Followed recipe to the tee for a holiday get together – DELICIOUS!!!
Thanks Sunny for this recipe. Had a bunch of green beans and was not looking forward to eating them. I added brown sugar, upped the pepper flakes, and used grapeseed oil to fry and olive oil for sauce. I also added garlic and ginger powder to the sauce. The increase in flavor is amazing. My new go to recipe for green beans!
Sorry, but i did not get enough flavor and I upped the honey and the vinegar. I was looking for something a little sweet but there really was no sauce to speak of.
Spicy and sweet! I cut the amount of red pepper flake by half and it was still pretty spicy (which I liked. I think 1 teaspoon would have been too much heat for me. I served these alongside Guy’s “Dirty P’s Garlic-Ginger Chicken Thighs” – good pairing.
This is my familys favorite green bean recipe,spicy & seet & sour
These green beans are very flavorful with just the right amount of ‘kick’. I made these as a side dish with sweet sour chicken. My husband typically does not go for green beans – he went for seconds! I would also serve this as a vegetarian dish when we entertain. Yummy!
Works great with frozen long skinny green beans. My husbands favorite now!
Grandaughter loved this. She is not much of a meat eater so I tried letting steaks sit in the mixture for awhile and then cooked on the stove top griddle. To our surprise she ate the entire piece. So I am trying different ways to use this recipe.
