Long Bean or Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis is a legume cultivated to be eaten as green pods. It is known as the yardlong bean, bora, long-podded cowpea, asparagus bean, snake bean, Chinese long bean or Kacang Panjang The plant is subtropical/tropical and most widely grown in the warmer parts of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and southern China. A variety of the cowpea, it is grown primarily for its strikingly long (35-75 cm) immature pods and has uses very similar to that of the green bean.They are best for vegetable use if picked before they reach full maturity; however, overlooked pods can be used like dry beans in soups. When harvesting, it is important not to pick the buds which are above the beans; since the plant will set many more beans on the same stem.
The crisp, tender pods are eaten both fresh and cooked. They are at their best when young and slender. They are sometimes cut into short sections for cooking uses. As a West Indian dish, they are often stir-fried with potatoes and shrimp. They are also used in stir-fries in Chinese cuisine. In Malaysian cuisine, they are often stir-fried with chillies and shrimp paste (sambal) or used in cooked salads (kerabu). Another popular option is to chop them into very short sections and fry them in an omelette. In indonesia, locals used to make a hot and spicy thin curry with long bean and chicken innard like liver and heart, beef nnard are commond too.

Instead of cutting into pieces, i like to make a rolled long bean before stir fry. One of my friend ask me about it when i put it in my Roasted Pigeon (Squab) with Spicy Szechuan Style Seasoning. You can use this rolled long bean on salad or side dish aswell, keep it in tight plasic box and last for about 3 days in a fridge.

ngegulung kacang panjang kaya ngegulung karmantel ya.. rajin bener.. ntar deh mo nyontek cara gulungnya, direbus dulu, dan itu abis rebus langsung ke air dingin? biar proses panasnya ga bikin “warna rusak” gitu ya.. tetep ijo..
iya mbak, slain biar tetep ijo, cr itu jg menghentikan proses pemasakan, jd kacang panjangnya ttp cruchy…
btw, itlah bedanya klo di passion mbak, dgn modal gak nyampe 20 ribu kita bs bikin tumisan mrip di resto mahal yg pelayannya pake jas yg lebih bagus dr yg aku pake….hehehe
beda cara orang menghargai makanan dengan orang laper ga penting sih platingnya sebagus apa, yang penting kenyang..
belajar dimana sih bikin model karmantel gini?
bljr dr masakan Peninsula Hotel mbak, kbetulan wkt makan dsn ada menu tumis ala szechuan n kacang panjangnya dililit2…hehehe
keren tuh kalu buat tamu, bikin decak kagum.. ntar ku beneran mo contek kacang panjang dililitlilit itu.. baru ini lihat.. lucu kali ya kalu jadi tumis beneran..
