  • About

Sweet, sour, and smoky, this crisp bean dish deserves to be included in your repertoire—even if you must substitute yard-long beans or green beans.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound winged beans, rinsed
  • 5 slices bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 2

Method

  1. Cut beans across (on slant or straight) into ½-inch lengths, cutting away and discarding about ¼ inch from each end as you work.
  2. Stir bacon in large skillet (not iron or aluminum) over moderate heat until golden and almost crisp. Remove with slotted spoon. Add onions t
