Stir fry Snake Bean recipe (Malaysian style)

Crunchy and tasty Stir Fry Long Beans flavoured with simple salt, egg and Maggi sarap or cukup rasa! I believe each family has their own preferred ways of cooking Long Beans and this recipe is what I grew up watching my grandma cook.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch of long beans (diced but not too fine)
  • 2 chopped garlic
  • A dash of Maggi Sarap or Maggi Perasa
  • A dash of white pepper (preferably Sarawak pepper)
  • A dash of Ajinamoto (only if you feel like it’s necessary)
  • 1 or 2 chopped chilli (red or green)

Instructions:

  • Heat a wok or large frying pan. in medium heat. Add vegetable oil and swirl it around to coat the wok or frying pan.
  • Add garlic to your pan to sauté for 20 seconds before adding chilies and sauté for another 20 seconds.
  • Add your chopped long beans to the pan and stir fry for about 8 to 10 minutes. Add salt, white pepper and Maggi Sarap or Maggi Perasa while you stir fry the long beans.
  • Somewhere about 7 minutes in, crack 1 or 2 eggs to your pan and continuously stir fry until your beans are well-done.
  • Grandma’s tip: When your long beans start to look wrinkly, that’s when your long beans are ready to leave the wok/ frying pan.
  • It’s a great vege dish to pair it with your other mains!
