Yard-long beans & water chestnuts

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients:

1 lb Yard-long beans
1/3 c Water chestnuts; thin sliced
2 tb Butter Salt & pepper
1 tb Parsley; finely chopped

Instructions:

Yard-long beans are a great delicacy with their tender string-less quick-cooking qualities. They are an asset to any fast stir-fry dish paired with shrimp or beef. Or try them with water chestnuts in this manner. Trim ends from beans and cut in 1-inch lengths. Cook in a small amount of boiling salted water for 3 to 5 minutes or just until tender; drain. Add water chestnuts butter and salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley. Makes about 4 servings. Source: "When the Good Cook Gardens" by Ortho Books
