HOT and spicy green beans! Yummy for people that like heat on the side. I think you could add a meat like shrimp or chicken to this to make it a main dish if you like.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bird's eye chile, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon minced lemon grass
1 tablespoon fish sauce
½ cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 ½ cups fresh green beans, trimmed and halved

Steps:

  • Puree the garlic, bird's eye chile, lemon grass, fish sauce, and coconut milk in a blender until smooth; set aside. Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans, and cook for 2 minutes; drain.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and stir in the green onions. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes until the green onions have softened and begun to brown. Stir in the pureed sauce, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the green beans. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer the green beans until tender, about 5 minutes.

This dish was a complete disaster. The beans were overcooked and the sauce was watery.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste, but I think I just needed to add a little more seasoning.

The sauce was a little too thick for my liking, but I think I just needed to add a little more water.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think I just added too much red pepper flakes.
