Very easy and quick. Used a banna pepper and added Sriraccha Hot Sauce just a little. I will made this again but using less sugar. I do believe next time I ill add oother items I have growing in the garden.

These were really good, and a nice change of pace for the same old green beans. The flavor was pretty subtle; I think next time I will either increase the salt/sugar combo or add red pepper as another reviewer suggested. I used frozen bell pepper, which may have watered down the flavor a bit, too. Thanks for posting; we really enjoyed this! Made for the Mischief Makers, ZWT 6.

A little gem of a dish; very easy, very tasty. I added a few baby sweetcorn cobs too.

Simple, quick and delicious. I liked the fact that the flavors were uncomplicated which allowed me to match it well with an Asian marinated pork chop. I used the water in preparation and cut the oil a bit as I was using a non-stick wok. Thanks Mama.

Quick and very easy! I did add fresh grated ginger and used soy in place of the salt!
