"This was really simple and quick to make. I served it over a bed of rice and didn't add the full amounts of soy sauce and sugar. It was still sweet. I thought it was pretty good for how easy it is ..." See moreto make. I wouldn't say it's one of my favorites, but it's definitely a keeper."

"Quick, easy and tasty. Great for a quick weeknight meal. I used fresh green beans and I suppose canned or, even better yet, frozen would work just as well. I will definitely make this again althoug..." See moreh I will reduce the amount of soya sauce by half."

"My husband doesn't care for green beans, but he loved this dish! Fabulous one-dish meal over rice. I added some black pepper to the meat before cooking. There was too much sauce at the end, so I added..." See more 1 TBS corn starch & water to thicken it up."
