Awesome recipe, but made some slight modifications. Although it is traditional to flash fry the beans, I stir fried them in a couple tablespoons of oil until they were still crisp on the exterior but more tender inside. I also cut down a little bit on the rice wine vinegar. That was a little too much for me. I seared some sea scallops and added them last minutes with the beans to the sauce and served over steamed white rice. Fantastic!
