Hi everybody! What are these?
These are green beans, a very healthy vegetable.
I'm going to share my really delicious green bean recipe.
Garlic green beans. In Korean, Kkeopjilkong maneul bokkeum.
When I make this, I keep eating it until I'm full.
You can find these green beans everywhere.
I found these in a local market near my house.
This is a 2 pound package already trimmed but not cleaned.
Let's wash.
Now I'm boiling 3 cups of water here.
I'm going to blanch these.
And I'm going to take only 1 pound.
Ok, this is 1 pound.
When you buy green beans from your local market, the tips are tough.
So cut them off using your scissors or your knife.
I'm going to cut them in half.
So bite-sized pieces.
So now my water is boiling so I'm going to cook this here.
And salt, around 1 teaspoon.
And green beans.
So my green beans are submerged in hot water.
Over medium high heat.
And I'm going to cook them around 7 minutes.
6 or 7 minutes later I will just taste a sample.
And they should be tender. Too crispy green beans, I never like that texture.
I love them soft and tender.
So next, while this is being cooked,
I'm going to slice my garlic.
Garlic flavor makes it really really special and tasty.
And also onion to give this some sweetness.
I will add some onion.
Ok, garlic. I just cleaned this.
Cut and slice.
You can use minced garlic.
And onion. Around a half cup onion. I'm going to use this.
My beans are now really green and beautiful.
Just turn it over like this.
And cook evenly.
I cooked 7 minutes and it's very tender. I'm going to turn off.
Let's drain.
You see? Like this.
So this water is very nutritious, think about it.
All this nice stuff and even the color is greenish.
I will just reserve a half cup.
So a half cup bean cooked water.
Ok and then, the same pot. We use this same pot.
Let's heat it up.
1 tablespoon cooking oil.
And let's add garlic.
Stir this garlic.
My garlic is now done, so a little light brown.
Then I'm going to add my green beans. (sizzling)
And you remember? Half cup of the reserved bean cooked water.
And we are going to make it salty, so 3 tablespoons jin-ganjang.
Soy sauce.
And onion.
Now we have to keep stirring until all the water is boiled down.
The soy sauce and onions mix their saltiness and sweetness all together
so that it makes a really delicious side dish.
Garlic smells really good.
You can see these beans look really tender.
Ok, turn off.
What else do you think I need?
Tell me! Tell me, I'll give you 1 second!
... One! (laughs)
Who got the right answer?
Sesame oil 1 tablespoon will make it shiny and it tastes so good.
Nice!
Here you go! (laughs)
We made garlic green beans.
You can serve as a side dish for rice, right after making it
And if you make a lot or you have some leftovers, just keep it in the refrigerator up to one week.
And you don't have to reheat, just serve cold.
Look at this: garlic is very tender and plump.
Mmm! Sweet and good.
(chewing) Mmm!
Sweetness come from onion.
And salty, just mildly salty.
And very tender.
I hope you guys enjoy this recipe! And everybody will love it!
