Long Beans Recipe
Description
This recipe begins by trimming long beans and cutting them into manageable lengths. They are briefly boiled in salted water just until tender-crisp, then quickly drained. The key flavors come from a pan stir-fry of toasted sesame oil and cooking oil heated with garlic and ginger, which provide aromatic notes.
The beans are then tossed with anchovy paste, sriracha, and soy sauce and cooked briefly to coat the beans well while retaining their crunch. The result is a dish featuring bright green beans with a satisfying snap, balanced by a savory, slightly spicy, and salty sauce that highlights the anchovy and chili elements.
Served right away, these long beans offer complexity while keeping a fresh vegetable texture that works well as a side for many cuisines.
Ingredients
- 1 lb long beans
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced
- 1 tablespoon anchovy paste or minced anchovies
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Trim the ends off of the long beans and cut them into 3-inch lengths.
- Bring 3 inches of salted water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add the long beans and cook for 2 minutes. Drain the water and set the pot aside.
- Heat the oils in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for one minute.
- Add the long beans, anchovy paste, sriracha, and soy sauce to the pan and stir well. Cook the beans for 1-2 minutes, or until they are tender but still have some crunch. Serve right away.
