Green onion and tender beans

Overview

Young bean sprouts are one of my favorite side dishes. They are delicious whether served cold, stir-fried, or steamed. Every year when tender beans are on sale, I call my parents in my hometown of Chongqing to buy some. After cooking, I put them in the refrigerator and freezer. When I want to eat them, I take them out and defrost them for cooking. I also take a bag with me back to the Northeast when I go home during the Spring Festival.
