just got some uber fresh green beans, gonna cook 'em up in this bacon grease- do I cut off the ends?
 

eating healthy!

do you cut the ends off or?

I trim the top end where the stem connects to the bean, yes.

just the one end, good idea, thx. I'll slam some real butter and salt&pepper on em after cooking em, gonna be delicious!

Also delicious fried in a little chili garlic sauce

I'm all ears! got your recipe handy? do you bread them?

I usually just snap the ends off. There is something oddly soothing about it.

I think the traditional method for it is to fry Fry them, but usually I blanch them in water first and then rinse under cold water and set aside. I usually just make a sauce out of some rice wine vinegar, a tsp of sugar, a shot of soy sauce and a bit of sesame oil. I fry a bit of fresh ginger in some sesame oil, add some garlic chili paste, and then add the beans and the sauce and fry till warmed through. You can omit the blanching and just follow a recipe like this one though. Probably one of my favorite chinese dishes that I often use as a side for many meals.

hah, these are crisp enough, I'll give em a snap.

ah so, asian, I wasn't even thinking of Asian with these, gonna have to try and get this in the meal lineup before these beans go bad!

yeah chop the ends off that part is harder to digest if you don't. like asparagus ends..

I nuke them with crused garlic clove and butter...love them

fuck that

I grab a big handful, chop the stem part off all of them at once and throw them into the cooking vessel. Aint nobody got time to be snapping each bean individually. :)

They are the bubble wrap of the food pyramid.

:1orglaugh


oh SNAP!

We break off the ends and fry them in a large pot with lots of butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
They're awesome!

I know...


Yesss....

Oh, you do not know what you are missing...

:D

Where are they coming from? it's not the season for fresh beans.
Uberfresh is picked 5 minutes ago, not flown in from Peru.

sounds delicious

are you always a dickhead? or just when it comes to uber fresh green beans?

With bubble wrap, I roll it up and twist it to pop lots of bubbles at once. :)

the only good bubble wrap to bop is the big bubble one, the little bubbles are a let down.

Snap off the ends. Wrap a few of them in bacon forming a small bundle and fry them. When bacon is crisp, ram the bacon/bean bundle into a Twinkie and deep fry the twinkie in bacon grease.

serve on a bed of bubble wrap :thumbsup
