Just made these for dinner and they were so good! I eliminated the sunflower oil (just sprayed a nonstick pan with some Pam and some evoo from my Misto) and ate them with a little jasmine rice.

    You're welcome! Yeah there are other things from there I'm going to try too, and the beans are going to be a staple!

    I do a similar thing with green beans, especially in the summer when they're abundant and very good. So I can vouch for how tasty this is!

    That looks like the cut off stem ends of my Valentine's roses from hubby.

    Haha it does! That pic doesn't look the most appetizing lol. I actually used haricot verts and just cut them in half, so mine was prettier :)

    This was really good, but I didn't have Hoisen sauce so I experimented with what I did have. I didn't use the sesame oil. I used EVOO.

    I used 1 tablespoon of Oyster sauce and 1 tablespoon of Black Bean Garlic sauce, it was really good!

    I still used the rice vinegar, Low sodium soy, EVOO, Ginger paste, minced garlic.. it was yummy.

    Thanks.
