Chinese Long Beans with Shrimp Paste 蝦醬炒豆角
I used Chinese white long beans for this recipe. You can also use Chinese green long beans or green beans for this recipe. Chinese white long beans are slightly sweeter, meatier and has a higher water content than Chinese green long beans. I personally prefer the white ones over the green ones.

Long Bean Rice 豆角飯
I used Chinese White Long Beans for this dish. You can also choose Chinese Green Long beans or western green beans. For the pork, I chose pork belly but any pork meat should work well. Preserved Chinese sausages gives the flavour more depth. You can substitute it with preserved duck or pork. Dried shrimp and/or scallops can also enhance the taste and texture.

Recipe for Ireel/Snake Beans/Long Beans/Eeril Bhaji
This Vegetable has a very close place to heart because It has a very Goan emotion to it. This bhaji is called Snake Beans or Long Beans because of it’s long length and it’s look similar to that of a snake. In Konkani, this is called Eeril/Irvil/Irveel/Virvil/Iril/and so many different pronunciations. The pronunciation and spellings differ in South Goa and North Goa. I am from North Goa and My Mom has always called it “Ireel” bhaji so I’d just like to stick to that 😊 I had a nice brief discussion with my Goan Food Blogger friends and my aunt as well. All gave me different spellings! So cool I thought, I should use them all 😊 I love to eat Ireel Bhaji with Fish curry and Rice in a foogath style(plain with coconut and no masalas). And my Mum always says there’s more fun in hand-breaking each bean than cutting it. So, that’s exactly how I break my beans and trust me, it’s so exciting to do it. These days, I’ve been craving to eat a nice Veg dish with Hot Chapatis. I had bought a nice big bunch of Ireel Bhaji so I decided I’ll experiment something different with this batch. It turned out So delish so I thought I must share it with all of you. Do give it a try
