Even though this wasn't exactly the recipe I wanted, it was excellent! Frying the beans in oil first made them crunchy and juicy. My husband and 14 year-old son loved it!I made this as a side dish, so there was too much pork. Thanks!

This is a GREAT dish! I adjusted a few ingredients to my taste. I used 6 cloves of garlic I minced(not minced from a jar, ever), 4 green onions, an additional tsp. fresh ginger, and a 1/2 tsp of dry crushed red pepper...also I used twice the amount of soy sauce(low sodium). I prepared the ingredients beforehand and put them each in a small bowl and first time I made the spicy beans served them over brown rice....if you want the"sauce" to be "soupier", add a bit more water....I forgot that I also added a tsp of sugar as well! LOVE this...might try it next time with ground turkey or chicken!!! Definitely a main dish...but key is ONLY fresh spices and good quality ingredients...garlic chili pastes come in a huge variety at a higher end grocery...don't have to shop at a specialty Asian store.
