Excellent flavor - I used "lite" soy and upp[ed the chili-garlic sauce just a wee bit. Be cautious once you have added the soy -it can burn. I served the beans withHoney Ginger roasted chicken, baked potato & shoe string steamed carrots -great combination. Thanks Mini R for sharing this recipe29 Mar 09 Made again - I appologize for the first photo It was one of the first that I took. Hope you like these more. I have enjoyed this recipe several times.

    I made these and added just a little bit more of the chili-garlic sauce than the recipe, and they were incredible!

    I love garlic and ginger. It would probably have been good with just that. Even with low sodium soy it came out too salty for me. Next time I'll use either water or stock with a small amount of soy.

    I for one love was thrilled to see this recipe! These are the best...thank you! (Any chance you know how to make the chiken that you wrap in aluminum foil squares...also quite tasty but I haven't been able to find a recipe. I can only find paper chicken which doesn't seem exactly the same). Again, thank you for this one, we'll be having it again tonight!
