Bean and Coconut Stir-Fry (286 )
Chili peppers offer several nutritional benefits, including being rich in vitamin C and vitamin A, antioxidants (like capsaicin), and potential metabolism-boosting properties, which may aid in weight management when incorporated into a balanced diet. If you would like less ‘bite’ to this dish, use a smaller amount of the chili.
Ingredients
Snake Bean and Coconut Stir-Fry
| 1/2 small long red chili de seeded |
| 500 grams green or snake Beans |
| 4 tablespoon coconut flakes |
| 1 teaspoon chili flakes |
| 1 teaspoon brown sugar |
| 1 peeled and finely chopped shallot |
| 2 cloves of peeled and minced fresh garlic |
| 6 cm lemongrass stalk |
| 2 tablespoon sesame oil |

Bean and Coconut Stir-Fry Directions
Boil a kettle and blanch the beans in boiling water with a pinch of added salt for 3 minutes, then rinse under cold water.
Toast the coconut flakes in a dry medium heat pan until they turn golden brown. Add the chili flakes and toast for another minute until fragrant.
Transfer this mixture onto a plate and mix in the brown sugar and another pinch of salt. Add the shallots and garlic.
Cut the lemongrass into thin rings. Add them to a pan with the oil and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they become translucent.
Toss in the blanched beans to coat them.
In a separate bowl, combine the sauce ingredients: ketjap manis, sambal oelek, powdered ginger, and coconut cream.
Add this sauce mixture to the pan with the beans. Cook until everything is warm.
Serve while warm.
