    Can substitute yellow wax beans for green beans.

    Very good. Basic, but wonderfully tasty and easy.

    Wow was this a spicy dish. Only 1 tsp cayenne, but it definitely packed a punch. After reading the intro, I really inspected the green beans at the grocery store and found them not to be great green beans, so I substituted baby bok choy. This turned out to be a great substitution. The colors were stunning. The look of the dish was a beautiful addition to the table. The spiciness did not last, but I was glad that I served raita without chiles and my other dishes were not spicy.
