These beans were GREAT!! I followed the recipe exactly & it was perfect - wouldn't change a thing. Served with BBQ tri-tip that was marinated in Teriyaki & they went really well with it.

Good green beans! I do not normally care for Asian prepared dishes, but I thought this one was OK. My bf gave it a thumbs up (which surprises me since he and I NEVER agree on any dish!!!). I made this as a side to go with teriyaki pork tenderloin by Kristen Croke that I served last night. I halved the recipe since I was also serving it alongside garlic mashed potatoes. The sauce/bean ratio was perfect IMHO (I think others complained that there was too much sauce...). I made a few changes, one by accident. Instead of adding the cayenne to my teriyaki/broth mixture, I added it to the green beans in my skillet. My intentional changes were subbing fresh garlic for garlic powder (I used the one LARGE garlic clove I had left from another recipe). I also added a pinch or two of red pepper flakes for more heat/flavor and several generous dashes of dried minced onion to cut preparation time. I did not add the red pepper called for (the red pepper seemed out of place to me...). I did need to saute my green beans for a little longer than directed in order for them to be to my liking. All in all, I think this is a good recipe, but a little lacking in flavor, at least for me. Thanks for sharing though!

these were ok, but nothing to really brag about. the sauce was too runny, and as a result did very little for the taste.

I like the nice hint of the heat of the red pepper flakes. For me it was a little bit dry. Will make a gain, may add more of the bacon grease or olive oil.

A little too sweet - I would use half of the teriyaki sauce and add soy sauce in increments to taste.

My son said these are the best green beans he has ever eaten in his life. I omitted the red peppers and added some chinese garlic sauce for a bit more kick.

Very tasty and simple to make. I followed the recipe to the letter and the cooking style and sauce could be used for a variety of vegetables. You could also sprinkle some toasted almonds on top if you want to be a little fancier. I served them with chicken tonight and we ate it all!

They weren't bad. I would maybe make them occasionally, but my family didn't like them at all so I'll stick to just using butter and garlic.

Quick, easy and really good! I used soy sauce instead of teriyaki sauce, omitted the red peppers (didn't have any), and tossed in some veggie crumbles and it came out just fine...will make this one again!

Very good. One of the few vegetables I haven't liked has been green beans so I have been trying to find ways to eat them. One way I like is roasted and this is the second way. Tasty and fast. Thanks for the recipe.

I modified this recipe slightly, so take my review with a grain of salt, but I think it turned out pretty well! I left out the red pepper and onion (didn't have red pepper and wasn't in the mood for onion) I used 1/2 C. chicken broth, 1.5 tsp cornstarch, 3 TB teriyaki sauce, 1/8 tsp cayenne, 1 clove of garlic (minced), 1/8 tsp ground ginger and about 1.5 cups of fresh green beans (trimmed & cut). I finished it with a garnish of black & natural sesame seeds. There was plenty of extra sauce... could have used .5 to 1 cup more green beans. This was recipe was plenty for one as a main dish, and would be a great side for two. Very good!!
