Introduction
This is a healthy and delicious home-style steamed dish. The long beans are coated in an egg mixture and a light dusting of flour, then steamed over high heat to keep them crisp and bright green. Served with a savory, spicy, and tangy garlic sauce, it is an appetizing and nutritious side dish that is simple to prepare.
Step 1
Wash the long beans, cut them into 3-4 cm segments, drain well, and place in a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil and toss well to lock in moisture.
Step 2
Beat 2 eggs in a bowl until smooth, pour over the beans, and mix well to ensure every bean is evenly coated with the egg mixture.
Step 3
Mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Gradually sprinkle over the beans while tossing, until the surface is dry and non-sticky, with a thin, uniform coating of flour.
Step 4
Once the water in the steamer is boiling, spread the beans evenly on the steamer tray, cover, and steam over high heat for 5-6 minutes until fully cooked.
Step 5
Prepare the sauce: Place minced garlic, chopped Thai chili, and scallions in a bowl. Pour over heated cooking oil to release the aroma, then add salt, sugar, chicken bouillon, light soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil. Mix well.

Important Notes
💡 Adding a little cooking oil to the beans after cutting helps lock in moisture, ensuring they remain vibrant green and do not turn black during steaming.
⚠️ When coating with flour, add it in batches to ensure each bean is evenly covered with a thin layer. Avoid too much flour, or the texture will become gummy.
🍳 After steaming, remove from the steamer immediately and shake/toss to cool. Letting the heat escape is crucial for keeping the beans crisp and bright green.
