Tips for eating beans
-
Beans can be cooked, but if they are cooked too long, the color will turn dark greyish green and the beans will become completely limp. Beans can also be cooked for 3 minutes. Then they keep their happy green color and they are al dente. Instead of boiling, you can also stir-fry or wok them. In that case you put oil in the pan and the bean is cooked by the heat of the oil. You can also use a mixture: first boil 2 mint and then fry with a fried onion, ginger, garlic and hot pepper. That is a nice vegetable base for baking potatoes or brown rice.
