Long-bean pods preserved by salt pickling and fermentation, with a tangy flavour and crisp bite.
In the kitchen
Often chopped for noodle toppings, stir-fries or accompaniments; distinct from fresh pods or dried cowpea seeds.
Chilli, sugar and other seasonings vary. Check prepared mixtures for added meat or animal seasonings rather than assuming they are vegan.
