About Yardlong bean, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt

The yardlong bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis), also called the long bean, snake bean, or Chinese long bean, is a climbing legume grown for its remarkably long, thin, flexible green pods that can stretch up to a foot and a half. A relative of the cowpea and black-eyed pea, it is eaten as a fresh vegetable, pods and all, before the seeds mature. The pods have a denser, chewier bite than common green beans and a subtly nutty, beany flavor that turns slightly sweet when cooked.

Yardlong beans are low in calories and a good source of fiber, vitamin C, folate, vitamin A, and protein. A staple of Southeast Asian and southern Chinese cooking, they are cut into short lengths and stir-fried hard and fast, often dry-fried until blistered, added to curries and Thai salads, or braised, and they hold their texture better than tender green beans. Choose firm, slender, unblemished pods, and store yardlong beans in the refrigerator, using them within a few days.
