  • Start by cooking the young bean pods, then let them cool. Once cooled, dress the beans with a neutral, odorless vegetable oil. Add vinegar (I personally like apple cider vinegar), fragrant ground black pepper, and salt to taste, then toss gently so you don't break the pods. Slice a tomato thin and arrange it over the dish as a garnish. And there you have it — a Mongolian green bean salad that's light and surprisingly filling, equally good as a breakfast or alongside your main dishes. Enjoy!
