    How to Make 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.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Cook lima beans to the right texture

    tender but firm, blanch fresh beans, and follow package directions for frozen ones.
