These are in fact tasty. I decided to use my best judgement, I subbed Worcestershire sauce for the soy, because I agree with the previous reviewers on the salt issue. Oh, and I also sliced the onion so that it would be easier for the kids to pick them out. This made a lot of beans, 1/2 lb. per person is a bit much (tomorrows lunch for me)! Thanks Carol ;)

On a quest to find a recipe which mimicked the local chinese food restaurant's green beans, I chose this look-a-like. Luckily, I didn't read any of the most recent review before making this recipe, as the beans ended up being absolutely delicious. (yes, it's salty but there's a freaking 1/2 cup of soy sauce! That only makes sense!) I didn't have any of the problems that the other cooks experienced, and I did not find the beans to be very "labor intensive". My only complaint is that I halved the recipe (for 2 people), and the cook time ended up being a little too long. If you like your beans a little crunchy, I recommend cutting back the simmer time. Otherwise, they are a perfect side dish for a weekday or weekend meal.

I made these tonight to go with a roast and they were very tasty it was a good change from the regular green beans. I did not however have fresh greenbeans so I used a bigger can of caned green beans I drained them well and put then in a sauce pan. I then took some of the other cooks advice and only added half of 1/4 soy sauce. I did not have beef bouillon cubes so I took the beef broth from the roast and added it instead. I did everything else that the recipe called for and it turned out perfect not too salty and just enough flaver. Thank you for sharing this recipe and all the inputs too. :)

I was curious about what the concoction of liquids would taste like, so I mixed in the soy sauce, bouillon and water but found it to be too salty! I increased the water to about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, added some sugar to give it dimension and then cornstarch (with cold water of course) to thicken the sauce to give it more cling, thereby providing more flavor to the green beans. With these modifications, it turned out great!

After a couple of tweaks, this will suit my tastes. Not a cooked bean lover, but it's bean season, I needed something to add variety to my abundant beans. This recipe fit the bill perfectly! Taking tips from previous reviewers, I cut the bullion to 2 tsp. but still thought it salty. I'll omit it next time. I used 3 cloves of crushed garlic but will increase that to at least 4 next time. I only needed to simmer for 10 minutes so they were still a little crisp. The whole family enjoyed this and there were no leftovers. Thanks for the recipe!

I did enjoy this, but it really takes all the goodness out of the veggie and that's the reason why you eat veggies!! It also had way too much soy sauce and will remember to cut back on the butter and the soy sauce next time.

My kids loved this recipe. I've even made it with chicken broth when I was out of beef bouillon, and it's great that way too.
