Since just for me, I cut the recipe in half. Instead o soup, I used 2 T. tomato paste and pinch of clove. Used 1/4 c. sugar (and still maybe a little too sweet), 1/4 c. oil (plenty or me). YUMMMM!

As written, I found it BORING. But I was inspired by some of the raters and added fish sauce, ginger and red pepper flakes. Then it was pretty good. There is (or was) a restaurant in the First National Bank Building in Dallas TX that served the best green bean dish - General something. If anyone knows that one and has the recipe, I would be soooo thrilled to get it.
