Peppered Long Beans

Chinese long beans are about 1 to 3 feet long and taste like green beans without strings. They're sold year-round in approximately 1-pound bunches. They come in either light or dark green. I like the dark green ones, the more tender of the two. Cook as you would green beans.

  1. In a large skillet, bring all of the ingredients , except the beans, to a boil; continue to boil until reduced by half.
  2. Add the beans, cover, and cook for 2 minutes.
  3. Remove the cover; continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender yet still crisp, about 5 minutes.
