Boil the green beans
Put 1 pot of water on the stove, add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, then bring to a boil.
Add the green beans and boil for 3 – 5 minutes over high heat, then remove and place in a bowl of cold water for 1 minute. After that, take the green beans out and let them drain.
Tip:- Add a little salt and cooking oil when boiling the beans to make them look bright and beautiful.
- Do not cover the boiling pot; covering it will cause the beans to turn yellow and look less appealing.
- Placing the beans in cold water after boiling will help them retain their bright green color and a certain crunchiness.

Add the green beans to stir-fry, stirring constantly. Since the green beans have been blanched, you do not need to stir-fry them too long.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of pepper and sliced chili, stir-fry for another 1 – 2 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste, then add green onions on top and turn off the heat.
Final product
Stir-fried green beans with shiitake mushrooms are tender, featuring a very beautiful green color of green beans combined with the sweet and fresh flavor along with the crunchy texture of shiitake mushrooms, and a hint of spiciness from the chili that stimulates the palate immensely.

How to choose fresh and delicious long beans
- Good long beans are still young, with a green color leaning more towards light green, and the bean pods feel firm and solid.
- You should choose bundles of beans that have a round, even stem, are easy to break, and do not show the shape of the beans inside, as that indicates old beans.
- Do not buy if you see old beans; if you squeeze them and feel that the seeds inside are large, the beans are soft, spongy, or if the beans are infested, deformed, or wilted.
Above, TasteVN guides you on 3 ways to make stir-fried vegetarian long beans that are light yet still tasty. We hope that with these recipes, your family’s vegetarian meals will be richer and more appealing.
