SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was good. I used fresh (parboiled) green beans, and added onions and shiitake mushrooms. My very picky partner liked it, but then realized this wasn't much different than how we often cook stir-fry-style dishes. Not sure why we might have been expecting something else. Still good, though.
These are also really great cold. I threw in some carrots and onions I had laying around and extra garlic cloves and chili flakes. Great recipe!
YUM!
I added some seitan, threw sesame seeds in at the end and served it all on top of forbidden rice...simple yet great recipe!
This is my new favorite green bean recipe! I omitted the peppers and the ginger because I don't have any. I used at least double the amount of green beans, and 1/8 cup lite soy sauce. I will use even less next time. (Strangely they taste sort of like the way I remember pork tasting.) My two year old was pigging out on them too. Yummy!
I subbed rosemary for the ginger, didn't have ginger, can't believe I was capable of preparing such a delicious meal! Many thanks;)b
WE loved these!!! I used fresh green beans and used ground ginger. I also added way more tahini, ginger, soy sauce..and just about more of everything! I think next time I'll add the garlic later b/c it started burning. This is a great recipe to have! Thanks :)>>>
This was really yummy. I made it with green beans and a can of drained, rinsed chickpeas. I only used about 1/4 cup of low sodium soy sauce for the green beans and chickpeas and that was the perfect amount. I definitely wouldn't use more. I also didn't use tahini as I don't have any. And I used pepper flakes to taste instead of the peppers called for in the recipe.
This recipe was quick and easy to make. I didn't even use ginger or the peppers since we didn't have them in the house and it turned out great. I think I might have used 1/4 cup of soy sauce or probably less. Thanks for the recipe!
This recipe was great. We had it for dinner with some coconut jasmine rice. I sauteed some portabello mushrooms we got from the farmers market in with the green beans. Terrific! Thanks for a wonderful recipe. We will definitely be eating this again.
I never get very excited about green beans, but I love them this way! I never would have thought soy sauce and tahini would be friends... and the garlic and ginger - wow! I only put in a few tablespoons of soy sauce and used crushed red pepper flakes and olive oil. so quick and easy! thanks for helping me use up those frozen green beans I didn't know what to do with.
