Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender pole beans. Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when bent.
  • Trim the beans before cooking. Remove the tough ends and any strings from the beans.
  • Cook the beans until they are tender but still slightly crunchy. Overcooked beans will be mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Season the beans with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add garlic, onion, or other vegetables to the beans for extra flavor.
