Spicy Garlic Green Beans

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.

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.Reply
