Garlic, ginger and soy sauce lend a robust flavor to this meaty marinated dish. My mother-in-law took cooking lessons while living in Japan and brought back this recipe. It has become a favorite of family and friends...even those who don't usually eat green beans. -Kristine Lowry, Bowling Green, Kentucky

Way too salty, inedible

I really think there must be some errors in the measurements or ingredients or something. This recipe was not even edible. There is no way this would make it past the test kitchen much less, be a prize winner as written.

I have been making this recipe for years. I love the flavor! I definately use low sodium soy sauce & do not add the salt while stir frying the green beans. I also use Olive Oil instead of Canola Oil. My whole family loves this one!

I don't know how this one made it past the test kitchen!

I agree....this dish comes out too salty and dry-not enough sauce. I would not make this again.

This comes out too salty. The recipe should ask for low sodium soy sauce and no additional added salt.
