Crunchy Adobong Pulang Sitaw (Long RED Beans) is a fast and easy Filipino stir fry dish with just a handful of pantry ingredients but is super big on flavor.
Why you are going to love Long RED Beans
Adobong Pulang Sitaw (Long RED Beans) is a delicious and healthy Asian bean simply stirred with garlic, soya sauce and white pepper. This recipe is super simple to make, low carb, low fat, gluten free ( if you use tamari sauce), diabetic friendly and easy on the wallet! If you want to add more protein to this recipe, it is fabulous with a little stir fried chicken.
You are going to love this recipe as it requires only 5 simple ingredients in one-wok and can be on the table in less than 5 minutes for the vegan version.
If you have carnivores in the house like I do, I have a version with chicken and long red beans and it can be on the table in less than 7 minutes. You have to love that!
Cook's Notes:
Red long beans are firmer and take a bit longer to cook than regular string beans. Sometimes we add a tablespoon of water and put on a lid for the first minute of cooking to steam and then remove the lid to finish the cooking process. If you want to make this recipe gluten free substitute tamari sauce for soy sauce.
I plan to make this simple little Filipino stir fry for my parents when visiting back in Michigan. You can make Adobong Pulang Sitaw (Long RED Beans with regular String beans as you might not be able to get long red beans unless you have access to an Asian market. However, this dish is just as delicious with regular string beans, just make sure to keep the beans aldente so they keep their delicious crunch.

I've never seen those red beans before. They are a stunning colour. Lovely that you've had some sunshine but it does sound very hot in HK xx
Healthy World Cuisine says
These long beans are really stunning! It is very hot and HUMID in HK. It would not be so bad its just the humidity that is hard to handle especially in the main heat of the day.
nancyc says
These beans looks so good! I've hadn't heard of long red beans but they sound delicious prepared that way. Love your photo of the sunset!
Healthy World Cuisine says
Thank you Nancy, it is one of those fast and easy recipes that can be easily adapted to do with just a regular run of the mill string beans from your garden as well.
Robyn Gleason says
Oh my goodness, Bobbi, you are too sweet! Thanks so much for including my drink with your post today. I have to tell you that I'm bowled over by that sunset pic - it's simply beautiful! I would like that as art for my wall!
And this dish - completely new to me! I've never seen these beans before but I'm fascinated. I'm off to visit Raymond's blog.
Thanks again - you're so sweet!
Healthy World Cuisine says
You are very welcome Robyn! I have taken enough photos to fill up all the walls in your home...with HK sunsets.

That first picture is amazing!! What a site to see early in the morning. Thanks for sharing it with us. Headed over the Raymund's to check out your long bean recipe. Your pictures have me inspired already.
Healthy World Cuisine says
Thanks MJ. We call this our million dollar view...
Eha says
Tried to leave a message at Raymond's site not once but twice so have come back!! Lovely simple recipe so full of flavour - have not seen red long beans here but can access green ones and am certain the dish will taste almost as good! Best regards to you both . . . oh, love that view of the South China Sea . . . well, my trips into HK began when you were in grade school methinks and it was both scary and fun to land at Kai Tek in Honkers on our QANTAS daylight flight coming in in the evening cooking time and watching all the locals cooking their dinner in the highrises. The plane was at their kitchen height for ages: honest'injun!!!!
Raymund says
Hi Eha, apologies I cant reply as I was out of the country and basically out of blogging for a month. Anyways I am back here now to answer any questions you may have
Healthy World Cuisine says
Eha, I have seen some video clips of the flights coming into the Kai Tek Airport and they are scary. Holy cow! You have to be an awesome pilot to get your plane to maneuver that way. Once again, even with the new airport out on Lantau island we have outgrown that and we need more terminals. It is one of the busiest airports in the world but also one of the most efficient. I just can't seem to get enough photos of our sunsets they really are gorgeous and really different each and every night. Hoping you are on a swift recovery dear and take good care!
Eha says
Well, am 'returning' in November . . . . easy now to laugh but the two nearest loss of personal life occasions did happen leaving on overweight planes ex Kai Tek on hot, heavy nights on overloaded planes [Oh, does anyone remember the ' BA Comet'?]. . . Oh, retrospectively all the very many times I landed at Kai Tek in the evening hours' and a 'bad' flier I was, I was just damn happy to be on the ground, but it was a 'Luna Park' ride!!!!
Monica says
We're enjoying a lovely weekend here, too. I don't think I've ever had these long red beans. Gotta check it out. The dish looks delish!
allthatsjas says
Oh my, what an assortment of goodies! Love it...enjoy that beautiful view!
Healthy World Cuisine says
Every day the sunset looks a little different I must have at least a million photos of it.
Dawn says
These look delicious, I guess I will have to go over to Hong Kong to get some!
Healthy World Cuisine says
Come on over, would love a visitor.
kitchenriffs says
Long red beans are new to me! Hopping over to Raymund's to read all about them . . .
Healthy World Cuisine says
Oh good can show you a new veggie. It is like visiting a new country from the comfort of your own home...
shashi at runninsrilankan says
Those red beans are so so gorgeous! Heading over now to check the recipe...
Healthy World Cuisine says
Thank you Shashi! I am thinking about making your tomato garbanzo patties for meatless Monday! Thanks for the inspiration.
Nancy |Plus Ate Six says
Long red beans? Never seen them before but they are very pretty and eye catching.
Healthy World Cuisine says
Long Red Beans were a fun find at the wet market! They are a little more tender than the standard long green beans here in Asia.
Kristy says
Love Raymund's site! What a great recipe. On the table in 7 minutes? You can't beat that. I used to be anti beans, but they have quickly grown on me the last few years. I've never had red beans, but the flavors sound great!
Healthy World Cuisine says
I am delighted that I could introduce you to Raymund! He has so many delicious dishes and loads that your kids will like too.
thecompletebook says

Pete and I are off to Kenya for a week so at least I will get to defrost with their warm weather.
Have a beautiful weekend.
