  1. I loved the appearance and taste of this green bean recipe. I did reverse the proportion of pepper sauce to soy sauce, knowing I'm a chile wimp. Season it to your own taste and you'll like this.
     
  2. This is a beautiful dish and has a lovely combinations of flavors, but watch out for the kick! I wish I had read the review by Sharon123 before I made this recipe! My instinct was to reduce the pepper sauce, but I write code for a living so I followed the recipe to the letter. Next time, I will cut the pepper sauce by 2/3.
     
  3. This had some good stuff in it, but I think 3 tbls. of cayenne is a bit much! I used 1 tsp.(Maybe I'm just a wimp!) It was good, I did add a little ketjap manis to sweeten it up a little. Thanks Recipenut!
