Chinese Long Beans

The small amount of brown sugar creates a slightly sweet balance to the heat of the Asian chili sauce.

 

Chinese Long Beans

  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 6″ lengths (Chinese long beans if you can find them)
  • 1 teaspoon Asian dark sesame oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Asian hot chili sauce (found in the Asian food aisle at the grocery store)
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

 

Place beans in a steamer basket over 1 inch of boiling water, steam for 5-6 minutes. Or boil water in a skillet, add green beans and a pinch of salt, cook for 5-6 minutes or until tender. Drain.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add garlic, cook 30 seconds, add green beans, chili sauce and sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook until tender 2-3 minutes.
