These were pretty good-not as flavorful as I would have liked, but good. Thank you!

Better than delicious! I am always hesitant to try new recipes because my husband is rather picky. He LOVED them, as did I. He said he felt he should be eating at a Japanese steakhouse. The kids didn't love them as we did, and didn't finish there's...but my husband ate the remnants.

My wife doesn't really like green beans... she cleared the plate and I'm looking forward to leftovers for lunch!

These are miracle beans! My 17 year old loved this recipe. She has never willingly ate a green bean in her life! The recipe is perfect as written.

I've made these a few times and there's never any leftovers. They are great as a side dish, but when I want to make a meal, I add cooked chinese brand link sausage. Tastes like the pork and green beans at the local restaurant. I add a little grated fresh ginger and red pepper, too.

I loved this and so did my DD. I did half the sesame oil added a bit of vegetable oil so the sesame flavor wouldn't be too strong. My DH liked them but wasn't overly thrilled. I think we will make again since it is a nice change of pace for regular green beans.

I LOVE this recipe..I don't change anything. I have read reviews of people changing the oil to evoo. I think the sesame oil is essential. The flavour is completely different from evoo.

I followed the recipe exactly and I thought it turned out perfectly. I will make these again and again especially since we get bombarded with green beans from our garden every summer. My kids even liked them. They took one bite and said, "Tastes like Chinese food." Must be the soy? Give them a try!

A little over powering with the sauce - but my husband loved them.

Delicious! Followed the recipe exactly, except I couldn't find the Balsamic Vinegar so I used the same amount of Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing instead. I'll definitely make these again.

I was looking for a new recipe for fresh green beans and this one looked good. The family loved the beans! The only change that I made was to used Splenda instead of the sugar.

I was bored with my usual green beans with almonds, so I decided to try something different and made these. I'd never made Chinese-style green beans before. These were fabulous! And so simple to make. I used only 2 T. of soy sauce, and stirred the garlic directly into the sauce. I'll definitely be making these again!

Whenever I go the chinese buffet they have the BEST string beans, the sauce on them is amazing. So I tried this one and the flavor was great but I overcooked it ALOT ooops kind of forgot I was cooking them. Next time I make I will make sure to keep watching them!!!!!!

Good recipe although as another commented, I didn't steam or precook my fresh green beans either (about 3/4 lb). I used the ingredients listed but didn't really "measure" just eye-balled them (I used less sesame oil as it would have been too overpowering for me as written). I used a cast iron fry pan that I cooked 4 bacon slices (diced) in beforehand. Drained majority of bacon grease & put bacon pieces on paper towels; added the recipe ingredients & simmered beans for about 15 to 20 minutes(covered), stirring occasionally. Turned up the heat at the end and threw the crunchy cooked bacon in and crisped the beans a bit. I also used brown sugar instead of white. Very tasty and easy in my opinion.

Fantastic! I didn't have low sodium soy sauce on hand, but will definitely get it for the next time. It was a bit on the salty side. Oh, and i didn't steam the green beans first, just threw them in the pan at the same time i put the garlic in.
