This is a simple and unusual way to make green beans. It takes about 5 minutes.
Heat 1T oil in a non-stick pan. Add 1T lemongrass (paste or chopped fresh) and 3 dried chilies. Stir to combine. Add green beans and cook about 2 minutes, stirring to cook evenly. Turn off heat and stir in kaffir lime zest*. Serve.
*If you can't find kaffir limes, which look like tiny, bumpy, wrinkled limes, use kaffir lime leaves (easier to find year-round) cut into a very fine chiffonade and add them with the lemongrass and chilies.

That is an amazing photo. Kudos to the photographer. And of course the chef.
kudos are very good with a sauce hollandaise.

I really like the flavour combination, but wonder how you go about zesting a kaffir lime?
Hi Coby,
I use a microplane for all zesting and most grating.

It must be easier than it looks then:) I just imagined those little bumpy fruit would be hard to zest:)
