When I saw this recipe I knew I had to make it! Candy at The Courageous Cook made a simple Thai-Style Green Bean dish for Two. My husband went nuts for this and couldn't believe I didn't make more. Then again it is for 2 and we're supposed to be cutting down on how big of portions we're eating. I love how quick and simple it was and the flavors went really well together. The only trouble I had is being in a hurry to make dinner I threw the sauce in a little too early and the pan was too hot so therefore it doesn't look as pretty and clumped up on me instead of being a smooth sauce, but it still tasted great. Be sure to check out Candy's site she has some mouth-watering dishes.

I loved those beans from Candy's blog too! They looks scrumptious! Have a great rest of your weekend.
ReplyDeleteThey looked great at Candy's blog and now great over here too. It seems like you should be able to eat all of the green beans you want, since they're so healthy.:) Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for trying my recipe! This sauce is good on other veggies as well.
