We did not care for this at all. I made exactly as written (after recalculating for 4 servings).

I used a reduced recipe for this. I followed directions specifically. The seasoning became like tar in the pot. I ended up having to rinse the final product to avoid serious flavor issues. After I rinsed the beans, the seasoning was still quite strong. So what's the deal? Not sure if I could have done something differently as I followed directions to the letter.

It was kind of tangy and funky tasting but that may be because I used the wrong black bean sauce. I couldn't find it, and the guy at Trader Joe's directed me to black bean dip. This may have altered the dish too much.

I added some oyster sauce as well. Turn down the heat a bit to avoid burning. Delicious!

Delicious! I made this as a side dish to go with potstickers. I couldn't find the black bean sauce so I finished the beans with a little bit of potsticker dipping sauce at the end. They would have been great without it but the sauce did give them a nice tang. Will make again!

Our local store didn't have black bean sauce, so we used a combination of soy sauce & oyster sauce; it was still very good, though!

I love Chinese green beans but these weren't quite what I was expecting. The sauce seemed to be missing something. I probably won't make these again.

I thought these were quite good, but my only complaint is that they were slightly bland. It may be because I had to make my own black bean sauce (I couldn't find it anywhere!). I used a black bean sauce recipe from another site because I was desperate! I will make this again when I am able to go to an Asian store to get the black bean sauce!
