We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a food processor add the garlic, shoots and 2 tablespoons water and process, scraping down sides often to form a paste (2 minutes). Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

  • Step 2: Heat oil in a wok over medium low heat. Add the ground paste and cook, stirring, until oil begins to separate and paste no longer smells raw (8-10 minutes). Stir in long beans and chiles; stir to combine. Add soy sauce and 1/4 cup water; stir to coat. Increase heat to medium high and stir fry until beans are barely fork tender (6-8 minutes). Stir in tomatoes and cook until wilted (2 minutes). Season with salt to taste and transfer to a large bowl.

  • Step 3: Let beans ret for at least 10 minutes before serving.

  • Step 4: Garnish with fried shallots.
