This was ok but I'm not sure if I would make again. I followed the recipe almost exactly- I added some minced garlic with the oil & didn't use the sesame seeds maybe that is why I didn't completely love it. My husband doesn't like sesame seeds to I omitted them. If I do make them again I will cook them a little longer, they were a tad more crisp than I would like. Thanks.

These are absolutely delicious! I always make them with frozen green beans, that I thaw first, and they're still awesome (although i'm sure fresh is even better). My husband asks for them all the time and our toddler loves them too- definately a family favorite- thanks for sharing!

Oh so good! I added two cloves of minced garlic and it was spot on. I made the whole recipe for just my boyfriend and me and yet strangely, there were no leftovers! :) So tasty and impossible to stop eating.

These were tasty, especially for green beans, but it's not something I'll probably make all the time.

This recipe is super easy and very tasty. I recommend cooking the green beans a few minutes longer to really bring out the flavor and give it a crunchy texture. I also added some chill pepper flakes to spice it up.

These were very tasty green beans - a very versatile side-dish. I made them for a dinner party, and they were still good when served lukewarm. I used a combination of white and black sesame seeds, which gave it an interesting look.

Great! I used fish sauce in place of the soy sauce - my wife is allergic to soy. I'll make again. Next time I'll serve with steak.

Substituted plain green beans for Japanese edamame soy beans. However, mine turned out a little salty, so I think I will cut back on the soy sauce for next time.

I was drawn to this recipe by all the beautiful photos of it, and it did not disappoint. I went to the store with sesame seeds on my list and forgot to get them, but in spite of that the green beans were perfectly flavored. My husband had 2 huge helpings--and he's not a veggie lover!

What a nice change from regular ol' green beans. I over cooked mine a bit, but they were still good. I made a huge batch to snack on all day at work. I think I'll be doing that more often. Thanks for the recipe!

I couldn't figure out how a simple green bean recipe flavored with soy sauce could get such raving reviews but I tried it and I can't stop munching on them! They really are very tasty.

We really enjoyed this tasty dish. I did add some fresh garlic to it and some sliced fresh mushrooms. Because of personal time constraints, I actually undercooked the dish at first, chilled it, and we ate it later, just heated it up in the microwave and it was excellent. Steams well in the microwave for about 2 minutes in a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

These are the best green beans I've ever had and so easy to make! I added just a little garlic salt and fresh ground pepper. Oh my gosh are these good.
