This copycat recipe is for P F Chang’s Temple Long Beans. This simple stir-fry of Chinese long beans in a vegetarian oyster sauce is true to the spirit of Chinese Buddhist cuisine, hence the name, “Temple Long Beans.” Pressed five-spice tofu is sold in the refrigerator cases of many Asian groceries. If you cannot find it or the fragrant Chinese yellow chives, simply double the amount of long beans.
From the Cantonese region of China, this is a lovely home-style dish which is easy to make, deliciously fruity and ready in minutes. Serve with egg fried rice or plain rice.
Mom and I had never even tasted Chinese food until about 1980 — that’s when the Hunan Chinese Restaurant opened up in Moberly. We had lunch there frequently and liked the chicken dishes the best. From the kitchen of Wanda Cupp Thornburg, Moberly MO.
This dish is not really Chinese but more of an Americanized version of a Chinese dish. From a local Chinese restaurant.
