Long Green Beans with Anchovies and Sriracha

Two days ago I went up the road for the second time to Sunrise Market. Do you have places near you that you know you should shop at more often but forget about them each and every time you need some groceries? This is Sunrise for me. It is on the edge of Chinatown, and every bit as chaotic as Chinatown always is.

Long Green Beans with Anchovies and Sriracha

It is the kind of place that you can buy anything you could ever possibly want, and many things you likely will never ever want. Truffle oil and organic maple syrup sit right beside bags of MSG and chicken feet. If you have the patience (and time) to dig through the piles, you can find some serious deals. I came home with my largest cloth bag overflowing with groceries and only $10.32 missing from my wallet.

I need to stop forgetting about this place.

Long Green Beans with Anchovies and Sriracha

One of my treasures was a bag of long green beans; also known as yard long beans, Chinese beans or just long beans. They're by far my favourite type a green bean. They're crispier, crunchier and, well, longer. Much much longer. They're at least a foot, and up to 2 and a half feet long.

If you can't find long green beans where you are, regular old green beans will work just fine for this recipe. Just be careful you don't overcook them.
