This Asian flavored Coconut Sriracha Long Beans are simple to make and mind blowing for the taste buds. Its serves well as a salad or as a side dish.
I love Chinese long beans.
They have simple taste, lots of nutrition, are versatile enough to be sauteed with any spices and serves well as a salad or as an entree and I love them in a stir fry form.
Ingredients for Coconut Sriracha Long Beans
Olive oil
White sesame seeds
Raw peanuts
Sriracha powder seasoning
Chinese long beans
Salt
Unsweetened coconut flakes
This time I tried to create a stir fry salad which can be eaten in a salad form, just as is, or with brown rice if desired. I also used easily available simple ingredients to make it very family friendly 🙂
How to make Coconut Sriracha Long Beans
- For this, I heated some olive oil (you can use sesame oil too).
- Next, I added sesame seeds, raw peanuts (my favorite nut).
- Then, I seasoned it with Sirracha powder mix (my new invention which I feel is better than the sauce and more versatile),
- Thereafter, I tossed in Chinese long beans, salt and to add extra flavor.
- Lastly, I finished this dish with coconut flakes.
Yum!

Heavenly! I haven’t ever seen long beans at my market, but I grow pole beans and use them in this dish several times throughout the season. It’s fantastic, simple, and surprisingly filling (served over brown rice). I’m making it again tonight!
