Introduction
This recipe is to replace the green beans you get at most/all Chinese Buffets including Panda Express and many others. They are a hit with everyone, every time I make them... even my picky picky picky people that I have to feed![EDIT: After noticing everyone commenting on the sodium, I realized that I didn't add the 'lite' soy sauce that I use - I had added regular! Fixed it now :) ] This recipe is to replace the green beans you get at most/all Chinese Buffets including Panda Express and many others.

home made vegetables with 800 mg sodium just do not fit into my nutrition plans. I might make them for company, but I could not enjoy them myself. - 11/4/09

Thank you for commenting. I actually had the wrong soy sauce in my ingredient list - I ONLY use 'Lite' soy - reduces sodium by half!

Sodium seemed awfully high for green beans until I looked at the nutritional breakdown and saw the soy sauce that wasn't metioned in the recipe itself. It sounds good, but I'll probably pass this one by. - 11/4/09

Thank you for commenting. I had the wrong kind of soy in my ingredient list - I ONLY use "lite" soy sauce which reduces the sodium by half!! :-o
