Spicy Long Beans

Posted by Alana on

Long beans are sort of like green beans, but super long! You can get them at the Asian market. They have a bit more crunch and firmness and hold their color better when stir-fried, so if you can get them it’s nice to mix things up every now and then. But if you can’t, green beans work fine too.
