Kecipir

Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (Malaysia, kacang belim-bing, etcetera). This is a rather unusual bean, which seems to have been brought eastwards by Arab traders out of Africa. Each pod has four wavy-edged wings growing along its length, giving it a distinctly dressy appearance, like a French bean going to a party. The young beans are excellent if you boil or steam them, in the pod, for about 4 minutes, and eat them whole like mange tout peas (larger ones can be cut into convenient lengths before cooking). Kecipir make a good substitute for French beans in Urap.
