76 Reviews of Chinese Green Beans

From: Merlot

On Feb 16, 2003

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.

    Very tasty, very fast, very easy. Good to have everything ready to go and everyone ready to eat, because it's best the minute it comes off the stove. Thanks.

    Excellent way to eat green beans. Next time I'll double the sauce, it's delicious.

    Let me join the rave reviews! This was awesome and SO easy. I could not locate my steamer so I just cooked them until barely crisp tender IN the water. The ginger at the store was not up to pare so I subbed groun ginger and had half a small onion leftover so I added that with the beans to the wok. A splash of dry sherry in the sauce ingredients (which I doubled) added a nice finish. I served these with grilled steaks and baked potatoes...a perfect spring time dinner. I could make a meal off of these alone!

    This was excellent! I did add a good sprinkle of garlic salt to perk it up a bit. Thanks for a great recipe!

    Yum! This recipe turned ordinary frozen green beans into a flavorful dish. I doubled the sauce ingredients for 1.5 pounds of frozen green beans and the flavor was perfect. Thanks for sharing!

    I'm afraid I didn't have the "wow" reaction that other reviewers had. I expected the beans to be slightly glazed with the sauce; instead, it clumped up and formed gelatinous bits. The flavor was good, but more mild than I expected (I thought it was VERY mild). I will try this recipe again just to see if I did something wrong and can improve it — and if it turns out better, I'll come back and change my remarks.

    The only complaint I had from my family was "not enough green beans!" How often do you hear that???
