To be honest, I rarely use yardlong beans aka ‘kacang panjang’ in my dishes as there are only a limited number of dishes that I know how to cook them with. One day, I happened to buy a bulk of them as they were sold cheap, only to realise I had to struggle to finish them up before I left […]

I will need […]
