In reply to Angie.

Angie,

I am sorry – I have corrected the recipe. You add the garlic when you add the green beans.

The beans I used are haricot vert which are smaller and thinner than regular green beans. Next time, if you use regular green beans, you can either cook them longer in the sauce or use a lid to help steam them.

Thanks,
Pam

I also do not see when to put in the garlic. I followed the directions above, however, the green beans did not seem to get tender. I’d love to try them again but I’m wondering do you turn down the heat and cover them with a lid??

I have to admit, I don’t see the garlic in the recipe either. But it goes in after the mushrooms? I’m trying it right now! So excited!

Thank you for letting me know about the mistakes. I have corrected the type of oil in the recipe. The garlic instructions are in the recipe description (see right after the flipping of the mushrooms).

I am glad you liked the dish… I did too!

Great recipe, but several errors. Canola oil listed in ingredients, but olive oil in body of recipe. Garlic listed in ingredients but not in body of recipe. Pan has to be covered and heat lowered to cook string beans. String beans need to be cooked 10 minutes. Other wise a very good recipe, will make again.

Love the Asian influence here. It’s so fun to me that veggies can take on so many flavor combinations and this one looks like a winner!
