Excellent recipe... I just bought two new woks and this was the side dish to a chicken stir fry and they turned out excellent. I went exactly by the recipe and they were perfect. Thanks for posting it...

Everyone gave such great reviews that I am wondering where I went wrong, they were just okay to me seemed like they needed a little more spice or something-I wonder if maybe the green beans I bought were not so fresh, I will try again and hope to get a very fresh green bean to see if that makes the difference-thanks for sharing though.

This is a WONDERFUL Chinese Green Bean recipe! I am so glad I found this. I made it exactly as you stated using a wok instead of a skillet. The ingredients are a perfect blend for the beans. Everyone raved and asked for the recipe. Thank you so much, BoxO'Wine for sharing this.
