Galangal-Infused Lima Bean Medley

1. Rinse Lima Beans

Rinse your fresh or frozen lima beans under cold water. This will remove any dirt or ice, ensuring they are clean and ready for cooking.

2. Heat Peanut Oil

Heat the peanut oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

3. Cook Garlic and Galangal

Once the oil is shimmering, add the smashed garlic and coarsely chopped galangal. Cook them for about 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

4. Add Lima Beans

Increase the heat to high and add the cleaned lima beans. Stir constantly for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the hot oil to coat the beans.

5. Add Hot Water and Salt

Pour in the hot water and add the salt. Continue cooking on high heat for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the beans are tender.
