For a spicier dish, add more red chile paste or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the peanut sauce.
If you don't have fresh green beans, frozen green beans can be used. Simply steam them according to package directions.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the dish, such as bell peppers, broccoli, or carrots.
For a richer flavor, use natural peanut butter instead of processed peanut butter.
Toasted sesame seeds make a delicious alternative garnish to chopped peanuts.

    I've made this several times and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a splash of coconut milk to the sauce for extra richness.
