Tumis Kacang Panjang - Snake Bean Stir Fry
I love eating vegetables, and when I shop for grocery, I tend to linger a bit in the produce section looking at the different greens and decide which one looks the best. And that is how I ended up with this snake bean. You don’t have to use snake bean for this recipe, so if you are more of a chayote guy or a tofu person, feel free to go wild. :D
