Brilio.net - Green beans are rich in benefits for human health. This food ingredient contains a number of important nutrients such as protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals which contribute to overall body health. Apart from that, green beans are also known to have benefits for heart health.
To get these health benefits, consuming green beans directly could be the right choice. Usually green beans are processed into porridge, cake filling, desserts, and others. Even though they can be cooked into many menus, the initial processing of green beans remains the same, namely boiling them first.
Boiling green beans can make the texture softer and crisper, making them easier to digest. However, you need to know that to get that texture, green beans have to be boiled for a very long time. The duration can reach 45 minutes or even 1 hour if you use a regular pan (not a pressure cooker).
The problem is, boiling green beans for that long certainly wastes gas and cooking time. It's not surprising that many people are looking for other ways to shorten the boiling time. For example, by soaking green beans overnight.
However, apart from soaking the green beans, there are other methods you can use to shorten the duration of boiling the green beans, you know. This trick for boiling green beans so they quickly become soft and burst open was shared by TikTok user @kesihnza. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he only used an ordinary pan to boil green beans. Even so, green beans can become soft and burst within 10 minutes, you know.
Reported by BrilioFood from the TikTok account @kesihnza on Wednesday (27/3), the first thing you have to do is wash the green beans that you want to cook. To get maximum cleanliness, you should rinse it while rubbing it gently. This will make it easier for stuck dirt to come off.
After washing, add the green beans to the pan. Then pour enough water until the green beans are completely submerged. If so, cover tightly and boil for 10 minutes counting when the water has boiled.

At this boiling stage, make sure the pot is tightly closed. Don't open it so that no steam comes out, causing the temperature in the pot to drop. This is the important key so that green beans can become soft quickly even if boiled in a normal pan.

Well, after 10 minutes, turn off the stove heat. Then let it sit until it cools. Or if you want to cook it into porridge, you can copy the method used by the TikTok account @kesihnza. So after 10 minutes of boiling, he immediately put other ingredients such as coconut milk, sugar, salt and pandan leaves into the pan. Then the green beans are cooked until the water boils again and all the ingredients are cooked perfectly.
