CHICKEN AND SNAKE BEANS WITH BLACK SOY AND GINGER

With so many vegetables and fruits available all year, it's reassuring that there are still some that, for whatever reason, can't be manipulated, suspended, gassed, modified or frozen. Apart from vegetables always tasting better when they are naturally in season, there's an excitement about waiting for the first mangoes to announce summer, the first peaches and nectarines, broad beans, cherries, artichokes, celeriac and Jerusalem artichokes. It's weird that we can get green beans all year, but snake beans and wing beans have a limited season. I don't pretend to understand it. I just notice it. Simple ingredients: peanut oil, black soy sauce, light soy sauce, crab paste, chilli paste, fresh Thai chillies, fish sauce, garlic, ginger and lime juice.
