  1. I don't buy fresh green beans that often, but saw some really nice ones at the market. This was a great way to prepare them. I love that they got that nice shrivelled look that they are supposed to have without the usual work it takes to get them that way. I chopped/grated the onion, garlic and ginger by hand and that worked perfectly well. Nice to be able to do this in the micro while using the stove for other things.
     
  2. Tebo this is a super recipe with just the right amount of kick! I don't microwave so adapted the recipe to do in a skillet - I steamed the beans for 5 minutes, sprayed the skillet with "No Oil" added the garlic & ginger sauteed for 1 minute added the beans -medium heat- stir fried them added the green onions, pepper flakes & soy - Heated through = delicious Thanks for posting
     
  3. These are great! I used red onion because it's what I had. Didn't process in the food processor first - just chopped fine with a knife. I went a little light on the red pepper flakes and added about a teaspoon of brown sugar. I served these with Asian Grilled Pork Chops (#137142). Awesome.
     
  4. I tweaked this quite a bit to suit what I had on hand, but it was a wonderful dish. I sauteed it rather than nuke it, used 3 cloves of garlic a touch more soy and about 1 tablespoon brown sugar. They were very good. Thanks! :)
     
  5. Good recipe, although I needed to sprinkle some water over the beans before and while they were cooking in the microwave, and they still shrivelled up a bit. I omitted the garlic, and increased the amount of pepper, and it was still rather mild. Definitely a fast and easy dish, and I'll probably make it again after some tweaking.
