Good enough to convince me to create an account and rate them! Super easy to prepare and delicious enough that my four year old asked for seconds. Really simple tasty Asian vegetable dish. Great banchan addition.

Finally, a simple recipe for green beans that I actually LIKE! It is simple, yet flavorful. Served with CL Miso Salmon and steamed white rice.

I have been looking for a relatively healthy vegetable recipe for Asian main dishes. This was perfect. Will definitely make again.

Excellent. Cooked beans slightly longer than recipe called for but other than that, easy and delicious... even my four year old enjoyed.
