Great taste but they took much longer to cook to my desired preference and the sauce then got kind of gooey. I kept having to add more water. In the end it was worth all the work, but I'll need to find a better method to making them.

These were really good. I have made them 2x now, and the second time I added a bunch of sliced, fresh mushrooms. Delicious!

I liked these quite well. Just as it reads they were 'Chinese Buffet'. I only used 2 teaspoons of sugar, that was plenty. I like mine on the soft side so I turned down the heat after getting them browned, covered them and let them steam for about 10 min.

These were pretty good! My mom commented that they were a little too salty, so next time I might cut back on the oyster sauce. I might add more garlic next time as well.Very well received overall!

As written pretty good but I added a couple of things to make them more like the green beans at the local buffet. Definitely use the sugar, it cuts the saltiness. I also added a couple splashes of white wine and balsamic vinegar. It makes them delish!!

While these weren't the prettiest green beans I've ever made, they sure were one of the tastiest! Such great flavor! I didn't add the sugar and don't regret it. I added fresh minced garlic and am glad I did. The oyster and soy sauces give these a dark brown coating which doesn't make them the most attractive (plus I overcooked mine) but I'll call these green beans one good "ugly duckling!"

Excellent recipe! It is now one of our very favorite vegetable recipes! I left out the white sugar, and I used garlic powder (was out of fresh garlic). I was so anxious to try this recipe, and the first time all I had was frozen green beans, and it was still excellent. After that, I have used fresh, but I think it was just as good with the frozen. Thanks so much for this very tasty recipe!

oh these were so delicious! the only problem i had was that my oyster sauce was cold from having already been opened and stored in the fridge, and when it hit the wok it sort of congealed into some lumps instead of mixing well and creating a sauce, but that was my fault not the recipe's. also, i used regular vegetable oil because that was all i had and i didn't notice any missing flavor not having peanut oil. these tasted just like chinese buffet green beans! yum!

**IMPORTANT NOTE** Thanks to everyone who has tried this recipe! After reading all of the comments I think it is important to note that there can be a BIG difference between the "asian" store and "american" store version of your ingredients. I know that most american versions of soy sauce have a lot more salt, so I am assuming the american version of oyster sauce is also a bit different. We only use the asian store version for all of our ingredients, which is pretty close, if not sometimes the same brand, that they use in the restaurants. So if it didn't turn out for you the first time, try making a stop into your local asian grocer and try again :) ** And for some reason allrecipes changed my cooking instructions, but you do want to turn down down the heat a little once you add in the sauces to prevent burning and my beans actually take closer to 10 mins to cook to my desired tenderness. **

My daughter who is 2 only eats these at Chinese Restaurants, so I was excited to find this recipe. I did not have Oyster sauce, so I used a lil Hoisin and Fish. They taste great!!! I am tasting the garlic alot now. I grated mine on a micro planer, I should have just sliced like called for!! But yea VERY YUMMY! Very kind to share this recipe, now instead of canning all our green beans next summer I will freeze some for this dish!

I made these for company and felt that there was a bit too much soy/sauce. It seemed to overpower the green beans. However, my company complimented them and had second helpings.

This was pretty good - I think that oyster sauce is sweet enough so I did not add the extra sugar and I did use low salt soy sauce.
