Yummm, so good. :]
I served these with some brown rice and some baked tofu and my non-veg family loved it too!

This recipe was great.   Only thing I added was a few chopped scallions.  Delicious and will make again and again.   Thanks for posting it.

these are really good but so salty i had trouble eating them. i cut the soy sauce down to 1/4 cup and it was reduced sodium.  next time i will probably cut the soy sauce down further and add more tahini.

At first, I was a little overwhelmed by saltiness (I used a 1/4 cup soy sauce) but, the flavor mellowed quickly.  What a nice way to transform frozen green beans!  There aren't many veggies I like frozen (sort of a fresh veggie snob) but this recipe made me want to stock up on frozen green beans!  So simple!

I made these tonight as part of an Asian-inspired meal, and they're delicious!  These are very reminiscent of a spicy green beans dish I've had at PF Chang's.  Yes, they're quite salty, but that's how they're supposed to be.  I don't think they're meant to be an entire meal, but more of a side.  I did make a couple adjustments.  I used 2 large cloves garlic, rather than 1.  I used both fresh serrano pepper, as well as dried crushed red chiles, as I like spicy.  I did use the full 1/2 cup of soy sauce (I actually used a mix of reduced-sodium soy sauce and tamari, as I ran out of the soy sauce.).  I used a 12oz bag of frozen haricots verts (tiny whole green beans)--these were just perfect for this dish.  Make sure not to overcook; you want tender-crisp.  I served this with jasmine rice and some grilled vegan shrimp in a chipotle mango sauce.  The sweet-hot-salty combo is awesome!
