SO HOW'D IT GO?
I followed to a t, except for the sugar, a little mushroom, then added some arrowroot. It was delicious. I served it with beet salad, corn chowder, chick pea-tomato salad and fruit-berry crumble. The tastes of summer.
Yes. I do this all the time too. I'm glad you enjoy the recipe.
Great recipe! Very easy and tasty. I added some portabella mushrooms . They soaked up the flavor really well.
Wow, this was simple and easy, and delicious to boot! Green beans came out wonderful.
This is really great recipe - simple and easy! My boyfriend loves chinese-style string beans and I wanted to recreate a similar taste. I followed the recipe exactly and served it over brown rice as the main dish. I will be making this again! Especially in the summer when the farmer's markets are full of fresh green beans!
