This recipe can be used with a variety of beans\u2013and they&#8217;re not all green. For a similar flavor profile, consider Haricot verts (a French green bean that is longer and thinner), wax beans (the yellow ones) and even runner beans (choose tender, young ones for the best flavor and crunch).<\/p>\n<h3>How do I keep green beans from getting soggy?<\/h3>\n<p>To keep a mushy mess at bay, first begin by storing your beans properly. Keep unwashed green beans in an airtight container in the crisper drawer of your fridge. No moisture should be present, so if you&#8217;d like you can even add a paper towel inside the bag to absorb any excess water. Next, blanch and shock your green beans properly. The immediate transfer to ice-cold water creates a delightfully crunchy bean, no sog in sight.<\/p>\n<h3>What else should I serve with Chinese green beans?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-rated-fish-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-rated-fish-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Light, tender fish<\/a> is always a hit, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sweet-smoky-pulled-pork-sandwiches\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/sweet-smoky-pulled-pork-sandwiches\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pulled pork sandwiches<\/a>, a side of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/red-roasted-potatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/red-roasted-potatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">roasted potatoes<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/shrimp-pasta-primavera\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/shrimp-pasta-primavera\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">shrimp and pasta<\/a>.
