I made this last night and it was so easy. I ended up not adding the extra 1/2 tsp of salt at the end and added a little extra water because the sauce was a little too salty for my taste. I might try reduced sodium soy sauce next time. In the end though, it was really tasty and I enjoyed how easy and fast it was to prepare...I will be making this again! Thanks for a great recipe.

I am not used to salty foods, either and found this one salty as well. I omitted the salt at the end, but next time I will probably cut the soy sauce in half with water to make the 1/2 cup. I still loved it, though!

Agree with others on the saltiness, so I too omitted extra salt and added some additional water. Flavor was great, and recipe was easy. This would also be good with broccoli in place of beans and chicken or pork in place of beef... We served with brown rice.

This recipe is way too salty. Almost inedible, won't try this again.

I was really disapointed with this recipe. I found that there was way too much soy sauce, it overwhelmed everything else. I would have prefered half the amount of soy sauce and the rest of the liquid in chicken broth or white wine.
