Delicious! We use this sauce on zucchini as well and it's great! It's one of those flavors that you can't stop eating :

This was an okay dish, but I really think with a few modifications to fit my palet, I would like it better. I like a light coating of sauce on my beans. I think the hoison and sesame oil overpowered the dish and that's what most of all turned it off for me. So next time I would definitely decrease those in half, if not more. It also was lacking sweetness for me. So next time I would add a touch of brown sugar in it. I also instead of deep frying my beans, sauteed them in a wok til tender but crisp and just added all the rest of the ingredients in. I will try again with my modifications to hopefully be better for our tastes.

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!

very good sauce. nice & spicy. usually give all guy's recipes 5 stars, but i just couldn't this time. think next time i will blanch then saute my green beans (i used asparagus too since it looked so good at the farmers market to lesson the oil content. too oily for my families taste. I pared this with ina's asian salmon (used chicken also and bobby flay's noodles, very yummy dinner! and next time when i don't fry the beans it will be a very healthy dinner!

I made this tonight but with yellow beans instead as I didn't have the green beans.I had to fry the beans for more than 45 secs . My soy sauce disappeared off my kitchen shelf and I used Worcestershire sauce instead and it turned out YUMMY!! I loved the sauce and I will try it with potatoes or tofu. Great recipe Guy!

One of the pickiest eaters I know couldn't get enough of these! I paired this side with an Asian salmon by Ina Garten and it was a great meal.
I don't fry the green beans, just saute them in the sauce after simmering them in hot water. I also leave out the cilantro, hot chili sauce and ginger, cause they're not my favorite flavors, and the dish is still wonderful!
