So good!! I didn’t have any sesame seeds–I added sliced almonds and then sprinkled some feta on at the end–sounds weird, but it was awesome!!! A keeper!
Delicious & easy to make!
I didn’t have sesame seeds so I used cashews; I added white onion, served it over whole grain rice with scallions with plenty of sauce – a great Asian inspired meal for vegetarians!
Yeah they are OK, just basic stir fry really. I think next time I will add some other veggies and maybe some Sriachi to spice it up. Easy, quick, simple, and good. Needs some tweeks.
These were so delicious and easy, I too added onions and it was a great addition.
I first made this recipe with sugar snap peas. Both ways are excellent!
I was looking for something to do with green beans other than steaming, putting salt and pepper and a little butter on them. I actually added onions which I think made the dish even better. My kids devoured them and even commented on how delicious they were ( I believe a first). This dish reminds me of the hibachi style veggies especially the onions. I bet you could add mushrooms as well. Next time I am going to make rice or some kind of starch to put the veggies on top of to soak up the soy sauce. I am positive it will make this dish super!!!! Try it I bet you will love it too!
Sorry Rachel and guys.
Try Ina’s. No cooking. JUST as good.
best asian easy green beans ever!! must try!
These were probably the BEST GREEN BEAN I HAVE EVER EATEN!!! Seriously! My entire family just kept picking at them even after dinner was over.
These are going to definitely be a regular in my house.
Thanks, Rachael, loved them!
