This recipe is popular on both sides of the border. It came from a friend in Alaska, then traveled with me to old Mexico, where I lived for 5 years, and is now a potluck favorite in my Arkansas community. It's easy to keep the beans warm and serve from a slow cooker. -Barbara Short, Mena, Arkansas

SWEET AND SOUR LONG BEANS



Sweet and Sour Long Beans image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups long grain rice
3 1/2 cups water or stock
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1/4 pound ground pork
1 1/2 pounds yard long beans, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces (regular green beans can be substituted)

Steps:

  • To cook the rice: Place the rice and water in a glass-measuring cup large enough to hold them or any microwave safe bowl. The rice expands a lot during cooking, so choose a container large enough to accommodate the final product. Microwave on high, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Microwave on medium-low, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Do not stir the rice at any time during the cooking process. Season with salt and fluff with a fork just before serving.
  • To prepare long beans: In a small non-reactive bowl, combine garlic, ginger, soy sauce, lime juice and brown sugar, stir until completely mixed.
  • In a large skillet or wok pan, heat oil over medium high heat. Add pork and cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans and toss until well coated. Cook 7 to 10 minutes or until beans are almost cooked. Increase heat to high, add the sauce and cook until sauce reduces and thickens, about 5 to 6 minutes. Serve immediately over hot rice.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, measure and chop all your vegetables and ingredients. This will help streamline the cooking process and prevent scrambling to find ingredients while you're cooking.
  • Tender-Crisp Veggies: For the best texture, aim for tender-crisp vegetables. Cook them until they're bright in color and slightly tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
  • Sauce Consistency: The sweet and sour sauce should be thick and glossy. If it's too thin, simmer it for a few more minutes to reduce it. If it's too thick, add a little water or broth to thin it out.
  • Serve Over Rice: Sweet and sour bean trio is traditionally served over rice. This helps to soak up the delicious sauce and makes a satisfying and filling meal.

Conclusion:

This sweet and sour bean trio is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table.
