  1. Hi again! I like how your article gets straight to the point so this was very helpful for me. And it is also helpful that you added a video for those of us that are more visual learners or are brand new to cooking. I did notice that you suggested canola oil but also said that other oils work as well. Is canola oil simply the best oil for making stir fry green beans.  I personally love stir fry and having green beans with it. It’s very nutritious and I like the vitamins I get from adding more veggies in my stir fry. Thanks for this post and I hope you have a wonderful day! 🙂 

    1. Thank you for your kind comments!  

      I listed canola oil because Yuhong (who made the video) used it.  I assume that is her personal preference but I truly don’t think it matters what oil you use in a recipe unless you’re going for a particular flavor impact (such as with sesame oil).  I tend to use whatever comes to my hand first!

  2. I love this recipe! It’s quick, easy and very healthy. It’s a fabulous way to eat vegetables. And by preparing this recipe, vegetables do not get monotonous or boring. I am here because I started researching about green beans with sesame with an oriental touch (which reminds me of my grandmother).
