chinese long beans are about 1 to 3 feet long and taste like green beans without strings. they're sold year-round in approximately 1-pound bunches. they come in either light or dark green. i like the dark green ones, the more tender of the two. cook as you would green beans.
serves 4
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoons szechuan peppercorns, slightly crushed
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
dash tabasco
1 pound chinese long beans, rinsed and ends trimmed
in a large skillet, bring all of the ingredients, except the beans, to a boil; continue to boil until reduced by half. add the beans, cover, and cook for 2 minutes. remove the cover; continue to cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender yet still crisp, about 5 minutes.
transfer the cooked beans to a serving dish. continue to cook the liquid in the skillet until it is reduced to 1/3 cup. pour the sauce over the beans and serve immediately.
