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

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.
