Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lb Chinese long beans*
1/2 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts (2 1/2 oz; not cocktail peanuts)
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 to 3 small fresh Thai chiles** (to taste), finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 large shallot, halved lengthwise, then very thinly sliced crosswise (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Garnish: lime wedges
Special Equipment
a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok

Steps:

  • Cook untrimmed beans in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with tongs to a large bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain in a colander and pat dry with paper towels. Trim beans and cut crosswise into 3/4-inch pieces.
  • Meanwhile, pulse peanuts in a food processor until about half of peanuts are finely ground and remainder are in very large pieces (do not grind to a paste).
  • Stir together soy sauce, chiles, and salt in a small bowl.
  • Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water dropped onto cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add oil, swirling to coat wok, then add garlic and stir-fry until garlic begins to turn pale golden, about 5 seconds. Add peanuts, and stir-fry until all of mixture is golden, about 30 seconds. Add beans, and stir-fry until hot and well coated, about 2 minutes. Remove wok from heat, then stir in soy sauce mixture and shallot, stirring until shallot has wilted. Drizzle in lime juice and season with salt, then transfer to a bowl. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Categories     one pot, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ounce cloud-ear fungus
1/2 pounds Chinese long beans or green beans
1 pound silk squash or zucchini
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine or dry Sherry
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Soak the cloud-ear fungus in warm water for at least 15 minutes. Rinse them several times in cold running water to remove any sand. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
  • If you are using the Chinese long beans, trim the ends and cut them into 3-inch segments. If you are using green beans, trim the ends and cut them in half.
  • Peel off the tough outer skin of the silk squash and cut the vegetable at a slight diagonal into 2-inch pieces.
  • Heat a wok or large saute pan until it is hot and add the oil. Put in the shallots, garlic, ginger, cloud ears and long beans. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the silk squash, oyster sauce, rice wine, soy sauce, salt, sugar and chicken stock. Cook over high heat, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Serve at once.

Tips:

  • Choose the right long beans: Look for long beans that are bright green and have a crisp texture. Avoid beans that are yellow or have blemishes.
  • Prep the long beans properly: Wash the long beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut them into 2-3 inch pieces.
  • Blanch the long beans: This step helps to preserve the color and crunch of the beans. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the long beans. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp. Drain the beans and rinse them with cold water.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the beans from sticking and will give them a nice smoky flavor.
  • Stir-fry the beans over high heat: This will help to quickly cook the beans and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Add the peanuts at the end of cooking: This will help to prevent them from burning.

Conclusion:

Spicy stir-fried Chinese long beans with peanuts is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The beans are tender-crisp and flavorful, and the peanuts add a nice crunchy texture. This dish is also a good source of protein and fiber. If you are looking for a healthy and delicious way to enjoy long beans, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
