These were absolutely delicious! I used a chopped shallot in place of the ginger and scallions (none on hand) and chicken broth in place of the water when stir frying. The sauce was thick and tasty. I sprinkled toasted sesame seeds over the whole thing before serving and served with sweet and sour chicken and steamed rice. Great meal!

This was quite the hit at dinner with our friends. Even the ones who had dinner before they came over had to try the green beans. I was tired of steaming vegetables and decided to hunt for a stir fry recipe. It was on short notice so I didn't have any ginger or scallions. I used half an onion and at the suggestion of my husband added a whole packet of sliced mushrooms.
