Just to introduce a little about long beans – long beans are good source of protein, iron, magnesium, vitamin A and vitamin C. Tender ones can be eaten fresh but please ensure you clean them up thoroughly. Those who doesn’t like the raw taste of vegetables can eat cooked ones. Beginners should really try out this Long Beans Sticks recipe :)
Have been consuming too little vegetables recently...those deliciously flavourful fast food can be real tempting sometimes! Burgers with fries and coke sounds great to me. So must charge up with vegetables for a more balanced diet.
This is real peanuts (and idiot proof) so anyone who can cook Maggie (instant noodles) can cook this (or I should say those who can boil water can cook this) – Long Beans Sticks is a dish just so simple to cook. You can also use the same method on French beans if you so prefer.
First, clean the long beans. Remove about half cm off the top and bottom, pulling the sides off. Cut to about 10cm long stick. Boil some water in a pan with a little bit of salt. Stir in the long beans sticks. Let the long beans sticks cook till tender. Drain off the water and sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Long Beans Sticks ready to serve! They make great and healthy snacks :)
