Ginisang Sitaw – Stirfried Long Beans
The longs beans we planted in the garden is now at its peak and we have been harvesting quite a handful daily. The photo below is what we picked last Sunday morning along with the peppers which I used in the chicken stew that accompanied this side dish.
My daughter whose plate that is in the first photo above, ate her dinner without meat, just this sauteed beans over rice with some of the gravy and potatoes from the stew. My plate, with a little bit of everything, is below.
- 1 lb. Long Beans (aka yardlong or asparagus – may substitute regular green beans), cut into one inch lengths
- 2 cloves Garlic, chopped
- 1 small Onion, sliced
- 1 medium sized Tomato, diced
- 3 Tablespoons Oyster Sauce
- 4 Tablespoons Water
- Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Oil
- Heat a wok or skillet with a lid and add the oil.
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant. About a minute or two without burning.
- Add onions and tomatoes and cook for another minute until they start to wilt.
- Add the long beans and oyster sauce and stir.
- Add the small amount of water and cover the pot. Let it cook for five minutes or until the liquid had evaporated and it starts sizzling again.
- Sprinkle some black pepper to taste, and stir to mix well. Turn off heat and serve.

I am a terrible housekeeper but I do love to cook so it all evens out in the end. I like to try new recipes that I think my family will like. However, I am not one to follow all recipes to the letter. I tend to tweak and change the recipes based on what I have on hand and how I am feeling at the time. Feel free to share your versions, I just might try it out next time I make the dish again.
