10 Reviews of Ww Szechuan Green Bean Stir-Fry 1- Point

So good and so easy, great flavor without bothersome calories. Spicy enough to make a statement, but not too spicy for our becoming sensitive GI systems. I expect to make this often, and maybe stir in some shredded rotisserie chicken or stir fry some shrimp when I add the sauce. And only 1 WW "thingie"! Thank you so much for posting this recipe, Teresa! Made for Top Favorites of 2008 Tag based on 2Bleu's recommendation.

This recipe made it into our Favorite Finds of 2008. 8/25/08 - Wow, Wow, Wow! What an amazing recipe! I made it a bit different by whisking all the ingredients minus the beans and bamboo/chestnuts (none on hand) into a medium saucepan. Once the cornstarch incorporated (instantly using room temperature ingredients), I added 2 cans of drained green beans. This is fantastic and I've already put water chestnuts on my grocery list to make again with them because I can imagine the wonderous flavors with it already! A great recipe to use up bland canned beans! Thank you so much Teresa, this will be a staple in our house!

This is a delicious and spicy side dish! I loved the addition of the water chestnuts. I stir fried the green beans instead of steaming them, so it came out much like the kind you get in a restaurant, a little browned and a little crisp - perfect. Next time I will double the sauce since it barely coated the veggies.

Wow, what a fabulous way to make beans! This is the type of recipe that should get tons of reviews if it can just get discovered. I can't wait to make this for guests. I chose water chestnuts and used low sodium catsup.

Mmmmm - if you are a fan of intense full flavours - this is the side dish recipe for you! Best part it's so easy to throw together on a week night but impressive enough to serve to guests. I love the crunch of the water chestnuts with this but it would be excellent with baby corn and I can see myself adding in thin strips of sauted beef strips for a one dish meal. I did not add ketchup - find it too sweet but did use 2 tsps of tomato paste instead. That worked out very well. I steamed the beans ahead of time and then when the meat was almost ready off the bbq, I threw them in the skillet so everything timed out perfectly. Thanks for another great meal Teresa!

This is a very good recipe, so tasty. I cooked the green beans 5 minutes in boiling water. I used Sambal Oelek for hot red pepper sauce. I used chestnuts. I loved that addition. Thanks Teresa. Made for 123 hit wonders.

This is definitely a 5* recipe! You would never guess it has so few calories. It was quick to make and has ingredients I usually have on hand. This will be a repeat in my house. Made for potluck tag

Unfortunately, these green beans did not turn out very tastey. I had high hopes, since I love green beans, garlic, and sesame oil. For some reason, these just didn't meet expectations. Made for Potluck tag game.

Very good, so quick and easy. I used the fresh beans, leaving them a little crisp, but omitted the bamboo shoots/chestnuts, I wanted the children to eat these :8 I'll happily make this again. Thanks Teresa, for the kind of vegetable recipe I just love :D
