Featured Recipe...
| Stir-Fried Long Beans |
Ingredients:
1 pound Long Beans, washed & trimmed to 3" lengths
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Directions:
Heat up your wok, add oil. When shimmering, add minced garlic. Fry just for a few seconds until fragrant. You want to make sure that you
don't wait too long before adding the garlic to the oil, otherwise the oil will be too hot and the garlic will burn.
Add your long beans, fry in wok for 30 seconds, tossing the garlicky oil
all over the beans.
Add water, oyster sauce and soy sauce. Cover the wok. Let the beans steam for 5 minutes on medium heat. Check to see if beans are almost tender, but not too soft. If not,
re-cover and steam an additional 1 minute. Uncover, let the rest of the liquid evaporate, about an additional minute.

At 8AM ~ Sonia Martinez
Sonia has made many wonderful presentations at the Market in the past. This week she would like to showcase the Breadfruit or Ulu.
Breadfruit is so versatile that it can be used for making anything... from appetizers to desserts and everything in between. She will demonstrate how to make a breadfruit and apple banana molded 'custard'. This is a great opportunity to learn some simple, imaginative ways to use this versatile local fruit.
