Very nice chinese flavored dish. I used powdered garlic but will use fresh minced next time. Really easy to fix (I love that part). I served this with #76930, Funky Chicken with Sesame Noodles. Made a great supper.

These were good and easy to make. I didn't have fresh green beans so I used low sodium canned beans. I followed the rest of the recipe as written. These had a good taste to them and everyone enjoyed them.

These were great DH and kids loved them. I used crushed garlic instead of garlic powder, otherwise followed the recipe exact! Thanks for a great recipe!
