Heather, so glad everyone liked it. I think green beans are great when cooked well.

Very yummy! Just finished this now… had to skip the fish sauce and soy sauce due to one child’s allergies.. but tossed in a bit of salt and extra garlic instead. This was so good… my husband and I added chili hot sauce to ours and this added extra heat.
Kids enjoyed theirs with rice and bok choy sans the hot sauce. Finally a recipe for green beans that I love.

Hi Arissara, welcome. My husband is American and has been venturing into more and more bold tastes. Among some of the best Thai-style dishes we like in addition to this are red coconut curry and Thai-style beef salad made with lemon juice, honey and clilantro. I hope to post the recipes soon. I think the brown sugar in this dish makes it work for all kinds of tastes. Thanks for commenting.

I cook Thai food a couple time a week(I’ m thai and my husband is American) and also cook for my friends, they love thai food but I’m not use fish sauce I use soy sauce becuase the smell too strong my husband and my friends doesn’t like it so it work the same and in Thailand we use lot of soy sauce too. I prefer to buy at asian store more than grocery store (the test is not right to me) some of Thai food American people can not handle it so I have to discover Thai food that test good for American people.

I will try to cook this one for my husband(he is very picky on food)

Hi Brenda, If you have been to a Thai restaurant, the fish sauce is the hard to identify ingredient that adds complexity to the dishes, and makes you wonder why you can’t replicate the tastes at home without it. If you try it, use a small amount to start with as it’s very salty compared to soy sauce. Now, I’m addicted and use it in this recipe plus others like the Indonesian Spicy Rice.

Thanks for visiting.

Looks delicious, I’ve never really cooked with fish sauce before, but I would be willing to give it a try.
