We were at a friends last night returning his computer we repaired. His Mama is Thai and a fabalous cook. It was about 9 last night and she tells us we must eat before we leave. She brings in some long dark green beans from the garden and cleans them up and diced them all up. She makes two different kinds of stir fry. One with chicken and the green beans and the other with beef and hot basil. She has me over there stirring and helping and mind you I couldnt understand half of what she said lol. She serves them over jasmine rice and ground up thai chilis that had been dried crumbled over top. That was one hot meal!
About an hour before that she comes back there with a serving bowl full of diced watermelon for me to eat lol. I made it about half way through that one. Her stir fry was so hot I was sweating. She did however clear up my allergies lol. My siuses were torched from the inside lol.

My husband who claims to hate green beans ate the ones she prepared in the stir fry. Seems he can eat them as long as they are masked by other strong flavors. I will remember that.

Janie alot of people who supposedly "Hate" certain veggies will eat them heartily when cooked very little as in stir-fry, the crispness of the veggie remains and the flavors are much better, so much is lost in boiling our veggies too much....often times a few seconds in a steamer or stir-frying veggies will help them to reatain crispness and flavor!!! My little grandchild learned to love green beans only after dining at a Chinese Restaurant where they had stri-fry cooked them in a nice garlicy p-nut oil!!! Yumm yummy!!!!
