Wok or Skillet Asian-Style Fresh Green Beans

These green beans really hit the spot! I chose not to thicken the sauce and found it wonderful as is..will perhaps use the cornstarch next go round. I also added slivered almonds and was really pleased with the result. AmandaMcG's suggested adding ginger--great idea (for next time). Overall, Kittencal's recipes never disappoint, and as usual, my family loved it! Thanks so much!

Very tasty way to use fresh green beans - tons of flavor! I served them asian style lettuce chicken wraps and they were perfect!

We've made these several times now and somehow forgot to review them, absolutely fabulous, my hubby's favorite Asian veggie side! The only difference is that we double the sauce for more flavor. Thanks for posting a wonderful recipe!

Delicious! I will definitely make these again soon. I used fresh green beans and sesame seeds, and I used the cornstarch to thicken the sauce. The recipe is excellent as is, but next time I may try adding some ginger.

This is just delicious! I made this tonight for my DM and I, along with teriyaki chicken. Perfect!!! The only change I made was to add about 1 T of mirin -- Japanese cooking wine. Why? My Mom said to! lol! It was a delicious dish! Thank Kitt!!!! I'll be making these often!

Amazing! This is the first recipe I have made that my two male housemates didn't destroy by slathering on the hot sauce! Point for me!!! I used Red Pepper flakes instead of Chili flakes and these guys destroyed it! A little two warm for me...lips still sizzling, but honestly this was a wonderful dish. I wasn't sure of the sugar, but it was the perfect complement to the salty soy and spicey peppers. So easy to make too. I served this with sauteed shrimp tossed in the sauce in the bottom of the wok! 15 minutes start to finish.

These are amazing!! Everyone loved them - even people who don't like spicy food! I forgot the sesame seeds so I toasted slivered almonds instead. A VERY good addition! :) I served them with grilled tuna steaks.

Awesome! I was at a friend's and we were making dinner together and she asked me to find a recipe for green beans. I searched Asian green beans, and when Kittencal's name popped up, I knew the recipe would be stellar. And, of course, it was :) This is a no-fail Asian-style recipe that is simple but doesn't taste simple! Thank you for making our evening extra delicious, Kittencal!

I'd like to give a 4 1/2 instead of a 4, but can't on zaar. This was good, but not great. I used almonds and fresh green beans for the recipe. Next time I will definitely thicken the sauce with cornstarch to see if that helps the recipe. Made for Zaar Stars Tag.

What would I do/cook without you, Kittencal?? I couldn't wait to try this recipe. I have small children and didn't want the spice, but I did double the sauce as suggested ~ and am I glad that I did!! This is SO delicious. My husband had to rush over and put some aside for work the next day so he would have some left to take! I made this with Bourbon Chicken and it was a hit!! Thanks so much!!!

Kittencal, I've been a big fan of yours for sometime. When I saw that you had posted a recipe for Asian style Green Beans, I knew I had a winner. It was excellent! My family loved the recipe. I photographed it and uploaded here and on my Foodblog: www.foodiewife-kitchen.blogspot.com Thanks!

I used 2 cloves of garlic. No chili flakes cause of DS but finally I should have tried it with chili flakes cause he didn't taste the green beans. I used no-sodium soy sauce. No brown sugar. The texture was perfect, no need to add cornstarch. The taste was great. DH loved that. And me too. Thanks Kit. Made for Zaar Star game.

This dish went great with my dinner plans for last night including Ana's Honey and Soy Glazed Salmon and Asian Salad. What a great taste these beans had! It was the perfect side dish for us. My DD couldn't leave them alone, and that's unusual because she doesn't really like green beans all that well, so this one will go on the meal rotation! I used about 1/4 tsp. of the chili flakes and that was enough for us, and I used the sesame seeds and toasted them before adding them. Excellent dish to have anytime!

These were good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I used canned green beans as I didn't have any fresh. I also used light soy sauce. I didn't add the optional chili flakes as I don't care for things too spicy. Nice side dish.

Loved these Asian-style green beans and finished the entire batch by myself ~ The family never stood a chance at getting a share! I used less garlic than called for, omitted the optional chili flakes, and added freshly-toasted almond slivers. I often blanch fresh green beans and refrigerate them for later use. So thanks Kittencal for a healthful recipe that really suits my cooking style ~ It's one I'll definitely be making again and again!

Even with frozen green beans this was great. I added a tiny tiny vietnamese pepper and it was really hot!!, but flavorful. Next time, maybe not so much hot pepper.

The beans were rinsed and placed in a covered dish, placed in the microwave and cooked until crisp tender. I then rinsed them under cold water. I found that the sauce cooked down and was fine without the addition of cornstarch. I did toast the sesame seeds lightly before garnishing the dish. These beans have a subtle kick with the chili flakes and a wonderful blending of Asian flavors.

You are right, Kitten, this is great! I love the Asian flavors. I used just slightly more brown sugar(1 1/2 tbls.). This was easy and oh so good. Thank you! I forgot to garnish with almonds or sesame seeds_oops!
