Burmese Green Beans & Ham

Green Beans & Ham
Left-overs mixed into a bowl of noodles
A great way to use up left-over Easter ham.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb. green beans, cut in 1/2" pieces
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 large onions, chopped
5 cloves garlic, chopped
¼ lb. sliced ham, chopped
1 Tbsp. crab/shrimp paste
¼ cup sweet chili sauce

Directions:
1.    Blanch green beans in boiling salted water for 5 minutes, drain and set aside.
2.    Heat oil and stir-fry onions & garlic until translucent, making sure they do not brown.
3.    Stir in crab paste and fry until oil resurfaces.
4.    Add ham & green beans and simmer until green beans are tender.
5.    Stir-fry with sweet chili sauce for 3 minutes.
6.    Remove from heat & serve with steamed rice.

  2. Wow. This is perfect for leftover ham -- or probably any leftover pork. I think Wegman's might sell the fish paste.

  4. Looks delicious! We used up our leftover Easter ham in Hoppin' John this week (recipe on my blog). I've never been to your blog before, but it looks great! I'll be back.
