Very good!! The only thing I would mention is to make sure your fresh green beans are VERY FRESH. If they are old, they don't get tender enough when cooked like this. The whole family loved it, even the toddler. Quick and delish!

I added some salsa and corn, and decreased the soy sauce, and it turned out delicious.

I didn't really care for this. It was nothing special and was a little too spicy for us. We will not be having it again.
