I used asparagus beans which are mutant sized pole beans that can grow as long as 24 inches. I cut them in off the vine when they are about 12 inches in length, and then I cut them into 1 inch segments. This recipe had a tad too much ginger for me, but it was still very good. -
We totally enjoyed these green beans. I cut the recipe in half and left the beans whole. This is diffidently a different green bean dish. We really liked the crispness of the beans and the touch of ginger. Thanks for posting. :) -
A nice change from the way we used to eat green beans. Ginger a bit overpowering too for me, next time I'll make it more Asian with some soy sauce. Used less liquid as I like them crunchy. -
My husband really liked it, but I felt there was a bit too much ginger for my taste. Made for Every Day Holiday Tag. :) -
Yummy! I had to use frozen haricot vert green beans and added 1/2 chopped onion. It was very good. Will make this again. Made for Everyday is a Holiday Tag Game 2009.
