    We really enjoyed these. I like how they are quick to fix. I have been fixing these to go with my lunch several times now. I added some minced garlic and it gave it the pop it was missing. - 5/10/18

    So good! I really liked the overall flavor. Just make sure you used reduced sodium soy sauce and not the regular soy sauce. - 1/9/09

    It was ok. I liked the sesame oil, but it just really didn't compare to that of a Chinese restaurant to me. Also, recipe should say 1T not 1tsp sugar. 1T was used in calculating nutrition, not 1tsp. I don't know... it just didn't have the bite I was hoping for. My husband liked them though. - 7/2/08

    I cooked this for one by cutting the recipe by a third. 1/2lb beans,1/2tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp soy sauce and sprinkle of sugar. Delicious! - 9/11/07

    I really liked them--found I enjoyed chomping on them, a little like eating popcorn--one after the other with little guilt. I followed the recipe exactly and the taste was very subtle. Went well with the filet mignon without overtaking it. Next time, I would add hot sauce, though. Really enjoyed it! - 7/29/07

    I substituted splenda for the sugar, added 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds and a little hot sauce, does taste like dried sauteed string beans from a Chinese restaurant - 3/11/07
