This recipe is awesome. But I did make a few changes. I doubled the garlic-chili sauce, tripled the garlic, and added 1tsp of ground ginger. Also, the recipe turns out WAY better if you use real soy sauce, not the stuff at most grocery stores. I suggest Marumata Owarino Tamari, or the thickest looking tamari you can find at the grocery store. Kikkoman is not real soy sauce. Also, I didn't steam the beans at all. I threw them frozen into a pan with super hot oil and sauteed until they were done. They came out perfectly lightly browned and crispy on the ends, but not overdone in the middle. Hmm, so I guess I really didn't make this recipe at all, I made up a new one.

This was amazing. And my husband ate all the sauce even that I made a double batch based on his request. The sauce was so delicious and would taste great with other veggies as well. The only change I made is use sesame oil. Made it with the Ginger Glazed Mahi and brown rice.... This one is a keeper.

A nice side dish that I'll probably make again. Directions say 'serve immediately' but they're also great cold.

Loved this recipe. I used white soy sauce so that the color of the beans did not change. I added about 1 tsp minced ginger to the sauce and at the end I added a small handful of toasted sesame seeds. It was salty and sweet with just a hint of spice. Perfect for my family. I will definitely be making this again.

Tonight I cooked this along with "Teriyaki Flank Steak" and white rice. I was actually slightly let down with the spiciness of the sauce. I used Sun Luck brand hot garlic pepper sauce. It couldn't have been any hotter then medium salsa, however it tasted great so it wasn't that big of a deal. We cooked green beans separate for our daughter just to be safe, but after finishing off the green beans I'm pretty sure she could have easily handled it. This is a great variation to just steaming green beans.

It was good but there was something missing, a depth or fullness in the flavor. That was easily fixed with a tablespoon of sesame oil with the canola oil, which you can really replace with any oil, and a teaspoon of oyster sauce in the soy mixture. Then this recipe was out of this world. I had it with an asian marinated steak, which I love,and I liked this even better. I was mopping up the leftover sauce with the steak to get the rest of the flavor. I also added onions and red peppers. I made the full recipe, was eating alone and there were no leftovers of the veggies but there was of the steak. You can really do this with any veggies. Next I plan to make an asian chicken scampi out of this. I've never been a major veggie fan, always having been a meat eater. This recipe has changed that. I'll be trying this will all sorts of veggies, meats, chicken and pasta. Try it out for yourself and you'll agree. I had to add this. I'm loving this sauce and using it so much I make it in larger batches, putting it in a jar and spooning it out as needed so I don't have to keep making all the time. Tonight I sauted some onions and red peppers in it and had it on my turkey sandwich. Absolutely amazing.

Sorry to say, not our favorite. The garlic chile sauce overpowered the green beans and I used less than called for. We are really like spicy foods, but the flavor was just not right in this dish.

My husband and I couldn't get over how good these are! I steamed fresh green beans for about 12-15 minutes (we prefer our beans on the softer side). Doubled the ingredients (except the chili sauce and I used Sriracha). What an explosion of flavor. I paired the beans with Barbeque Halibut Steaks from this site, and a cucumber salad. Oh man, was it good!

Although not the prettiest entrant in the green bean parade, these are certainly very tasty. I used low sodium soy sauce and found that the combination of sweet and spicy flavors was a nice complement to grilled pork chops. This quick and easy veggie would be nice for entertaining because the green beans could be prepared ahead of time, the sauce added when you are ready to serve, and in two minutes or so they are good to go.

Yum! This is a nice, different way to make green beans. It reminds me of side dishes I've had at Asian restaurants. I used Sriracha garlic chile sauce and it was just the right amount of spice. I only wish that the sauce would have coated the beans more. It was thin and puddled at the bottom of the bowl. Next time I might add a bit of cornstarch to thicken it up.

5+ Stars -- This recipe is AWESOME! I modified it just a bit, doing as others did. I didn't steam the beans first, I just sauteed them in a little bit of olive oil first (approx. 4 minutes), added the other ingrediants as directed and sauteed them for an additional 4 minutes or so (we like our beans a bit on the crunchy side). I also added a bit more of the garlic chili sauce for more "heat". Even my son (who strongly dislikes green beans) LOVED them. I'll make these again for sure.
