The Legendary Northeast Curved Yellow Beans: A Golden Vegetable, Delicious Whether Braised or Stewed
Northeast is known for its large land and abundant agricultural products, especially the black soil, which produces a lot of delicious dishes. Long beans are a very common vegetable in Northeast China, and there are several varieties, each with different appearances and tastes. They are the most common dishes on Northeast Chinese tables. There are also many people in the south who don't often miss this flavor. Once at the market, I saw an older woman buying a lot of curved yellow beans and she said, 'This dish is for my Shanghai veteran friends who went to work in the Northeast.’ This shows that once you've tasted it, you won't forget it, even after decades, people still come from afar to seek it out. If you haven't tried it, you must try it once when you come to Northeast. Because of the poor climate in Northeast, the time we eat local food is about two months a year, and because this kind of bean is produced in low yield, the price is quite expensive.
Whenever autumn, this bean is mass-produced, at this time the curved yellow beans are the cheapest, with a price of about 4.5 yuan per 500 grams. In winter, you can't see this kind of bean variety. Every time during the peak season, I buy some beans, steam them, and they are great to eat in winter with dishes. Northeast people’s method of storing vegetables is freezing, such as tomatoes, eggplant, long beans, etc. When eating, they thaw them, and the taste is very good. Throughout the year, Northeast people eat a lot of beans and long beans, which are the main dishes on the table. Long beans stewed with meat, clear-cooked long beans, dry-fried long beans, and soy-braised long beans, etc. Because different varieties of long beans are very sweet and sticky and soft, they are suitable for making stews and are liked by more people. In summer, the price of long beans is maintained at 2 to 4 yuan per bean. Curved yellow beans are considered the ‘nobel’ beans among long beans, and their taste is the best. Today I’m sharing a soy-braised curved yellow bean dish, which is quite flavorful and goes well with rice.
