Healthy, simple and tasty making these beans an agreeable side. I made using frozen beans as that is what was on hand and chopped the onion before I saw the recipe said slice but other than that no changes. We thought the mustard seed and fresh ginger made a wonderful combo. Thanks for the post.Reply
