Spicy Garlic Green Beans created by AmandaInOz

This is a great dish we have at a local chinese restaurant that I came home and played with. They're an excellent side dish. I store some thai peppers in oil that I use in place of the olive oil but regular olive oil is fine. This recipe is great if you cube up a chicken breast into 1/2" cubes and add it also.

I made this with beans from the farm box and minced a fresh pepper to use instead of the pepper flakes. My family really liked these. The only complaint was that they were a little oily, so maybe I will cut back on the oils a little next time.

These were perfect! I don't usually like green beans but my boyfriend loves them, so I decided to try out this recipe. They were amazing, I will definitely be making them again! The only thing I thought that could be improved was lowering the amount of oil. Other than that they were great!

I really enjoyed these! My only change was a mistake when I added all the garlic in right at the start. My BF is watching his sodium, so his portion had no soy sauce and my did - both ways were delicious! Made for PAC Spring '11

Made these exactly as written except that I used canola oil instead of olive oil. We thought the flavor was excellent, but there was way too much oil for our taste. I will definitely make these again, but will start w/ 1 tsp each of oil and sesame oil and increase from there if necessary. Reviewed for PAC Fall 2008.
