I agree w/ the previous review. Green beans were great but the recipe calls for way too much chili flakes. I put in 2 tsp (and I am a spice lover) and it was still a bit too much.

These we're the most AMAZING green beans EVER! However, the reason I give only 4 stars, is because, the recipe calls for 2 full tablespoons of chili flakes. I only used about 1 1/2 teaspoons and it was still quite spicy. Other than that, they were perfect. I would eat them everyday if I could :) Thanks Tina!
