Instructions: In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, water, catsup,garlic and ginger. Mix well. Stir in beans. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Stir in cornstarch mixture and add to the beans. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 1 - 2 minutes.

Serve over brown rice.

NOTES : I guess this dish really improves with standing overnight, because I thought it was
*really* delicious in reruns. Ive already made it again. It is quick, vlf, cheap (even cheaper if you cook your own beans), good warm or at room temperature - what more could you ask for?

Im posting the recipe the way it appeared in the book, which is how I
made it the first time. It seemed a little sweet or out of balance to
me at the time, and in an attempt to remedy that I added some dried red
chili flakes. It didnt seem to help at the time, but really came out
in flavor and added a lot after it sat overnight, so that is how Ill
make it from now on.
