Adobong Sitaw- Long Green Beans in Garlic and Vinegar Saute

A classic Filipino vegetable dish is Adobong Sitaw, long green beans sautéed in a garlic-vinegar-soy sauce blend. The crunchy green bean strips cook in no time and the refreshing flavor is a good contrast to the tart vinegar-garlic saute. Like most meals I make this wholesome entrée or side dish all year round. Serve this with rice. This is an AsianInAmericamag recipe by Ellizabeth Ann Quirino and makes 2 to 4 servings.

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 cups sitaw (long green beans) washed, ends trimmed
  • 4 Tablespoons vegetable or corn oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 whole onion sliced
  • 1/2 cup Heinz cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper powder
  • steamed white rice for serving

Instructions

  • Over medium heat, using a large skillet, add the vegetable oil. After 1 to 2 minutes when the oil is hot, saute the garlic, onions and cook for 2 minutes till soft.
  • Separately in a small bowl, combine the vinegar and soy sauce. Add this to the skillet with the garlic and onions. Pour the vegetable broth
  • When the sauce starts to boil after 2 to 3 minutes add the cut up long beans. Blend well with the sauce. Cover and cook the long beans for 8 to 10 minutes. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Serve with boiled white rice.
  • Cook's comments: sometimes we have leftover pork adobo which I slice in tiny slivers and add half a cup to the saute of this dish.
  • Recipe notes: Heinz cider vinegar is good for this and other adobo recipes I have made. If not available, use regular white distilled vinegar and the results are just as good. In the Philippines, we use regular white "suka" (vinegar) for adobo recipes.
