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.

Fried Stuffed 3 Treasures 煎讓三寶

I used pre-made shrimp paste that I found at a Chinese supermarket in the fresh seafood section. You can also stuff shitake mushrooms and bitter melon. You want to stay away from vegetables with high water content and the ones that take a long time to cook through. Street vendors in Hong Kong also use “red sausage” to stuff shrimp or fish paste. You can get this at a Hong Kong BBQ store. I used a very light sauce to make this a quick and easy dish. If you like the thicker sauces, just add a cornstarch slurry when you make the sauce.
