  • About

Snake beans lie like arm-length curls of green rope next to the green beans in the markets. They can be used interchangeably, but snake beans tend to take a little longer to yield to the heat of the pan. Here they are cooked not for crisp greenness, but taken beyond until silky and tender in a comforting cloak of spiced coconut milk.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil, for frying
  • 500 g (1 lb 2

Method

Grind all the bumbu ingredients together in a food processor, adding a little water to help everything come together to a paste.

In a large pan, heat the oil and fry the bumbu for a couple of minutes until very fragrant. Add the beans along with a splash of water and stir to coat in the spices. Cook for a minute or two before adding the lemongrass stick and coconut milk.
