I need a recipe for an asian style garlic green bean dish. Please see details.?

I'm usually very good at duplicating things I eat in restaurants, but this one has me stumped and the owners won't share their secrets! It is made with fresh green beans, garlic, oil and..... And there's the problem. There is a 'base note' I can't identify. Is anyone aware of a savory asian green bean recipe that is similar to this? There is no ginger, sesame oil or chiles in it that I can tell, either. So what the mystery ingredient may be is just that - a mystery!





Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!I need a recipe for an asian style garlic green bean dish. Please see details.?

try fish sauce or oyster sauce or hoisin sauce. maybe anisette or licorice root.
This sounds very similar to a broccoli dish at my favorite chinese restaurant and the chef there shared his secret with me. So try using olive oil in which you can stir fry minced garlic, and add a little(very little) corn starch to the base.
