Grilled Chinese Long Green Beans

The produce section at Jungle Jim’s in Cincinnati is fantastic. The last time we were there I noticed they had Chinese long green beans, so I picked up a pound. I’ve seen them used on cooking shows on TV, but I’ve never cooked them. I figured I’d try out some grilled Chinese long green beans. And I’m glad I did!

Add Some Contrast

I decided to make these grilled Chinese long green beans along with some sliced radishes and minced garlic. I liked the slight heat from the radishes. And of course garlic and green beans were made for each other. Grilling adds that extra flavor you’re just not going to get on the stovetop.

These beans have great green bean flavor that you are used to. Plus they’re fun to look at. They are over a foot long!

(I noticed yesterday that our local grocery store is now carrying Chinese long green beans! Woo hoo!)

Also try my barbecue green beans.

Grilling these beans until they are a little caramelized really brings out the flavor!
