Very good recipe for green beans. Would go well with anything, not just Asian food. I used m mirin instead of the sherry and sugar. Made for Chinese/Vietnamese New Year tag. -
I just loved these green beans! I didn't have fresh, so used whole frozen green beans, thawed and rinsed. The mix of peanut oil and sesame oil, combined with the soy sauce is spectacular! A definite do again recipe. I plan on enjoying this often.
