How to Cook Red String Beans
- 1). Wash the red beans thoroughly and snap off the stems and tips. You may choose to cut up long beans, such as Chinese noodle beans, or cook them whole in a large wok.
- 2). Heat vegetable oil, such as olive or canola oil, in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and saute until the onion is translucent.
- 3). Add red string beans. Stir-fry until the beans soften and develop browned spots. Keep the beans moving to prevent them from burning.
- 4). Add 1/4 cup water and cover the pan. Allow the beans to steam for five minutes or until tender. Season with salt and your preferred herbs and spices. Serve hot.
