Stir-Fried Green Beans with Pork & Chilies
Ethnic
Green Bean Recipes
This
spicy green bean recipe is taken from Madhur Jaffrey's Far Eastern Cookery book.
She says in her cookbook that she got this recipe from a "long-toothed lady
with a food stall ensconced right in the middle of the Weekend Market in Bangkok."
We make this colorful and spicy dish when we're in the mood for something with
a bit of heat. We would highly recommend you get fish sauce for this recipe, it
smells horrible but really adds to the flavor of this dish. You should be able
to find it in your local grocery store. Also, have all the vegetables prepped
and ready to go before you start. You'll want to be able to pay close attention
to the food as it cooks. You can always add more chilies if you want the dish
hotter, put in fewer to lessen the heat. Another way to lessen the heat is to
de-seed the chilies before you slice them. Ms. Jaffrey says if you like you can
throw in a small amount of finely diced red bell pepper in the last five minutes
of cooking, just for color. (we've never done this). If you have never tried cooking
in a wok you should. It will open up a whole new world of cooking and flavors
for you.
