Stir in the tomatoes, wine vinegar, and cumin; bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes to thicken the sauce. Transfer the sauce to a bowl.

Return the cooked green beans to the skillet; cook and stir to reheat the beans and coat them with oil. Pour the sauce over the beans and stir to coat. Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a large bowl stir together fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice and let stand, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat broiler.
• Cut eggplants crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Lightly brush a small baking pan with some oil and arrange eggplant slices in pan. Brush eggplant with remaining oil and broil 3 to 4 inches from heat, turning it once, until tender and browned, about 8 minutes total. Add eggplant to fish-sauce mixture and toss.
• Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. Cut beans into 1 1/2-inch lengths and in a saucepan cook in boiling salted water 2 minutes. Drain beans and transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Drain beans well and add to eggplant mixture. Halve tomatoes and coarsely chop cilantro. Finely chop peanuts. Add tomatoes, cilantro, and some peanuts to eggplant mixture, tossing to combine. Vegetables may be prepared 2 hours ahead. Serve vegetables at room temperature sprinkled with remaining peanuts.

Steps:

• Trim and discard the ends of the long beans. Cut the beans crosswise into segments about 1 1/2 inches long.
• Heat a wok over high heat until hot. Swirl in the oil to coat the surface evenly. When the oil is hot, stir in the garlic and saute a few seconds.
• Toss in the long beans and stir-fry 1-2 minutes.
• Spoon in the roast chilli paste. Stir to mix well with the beans.
• Add a quarter cup of water, stir and cover with a lid to allow the beans to steam.

• Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm along with the other dishes with steamed rice.

Steps:

• Roll the shrimp paste into a ball and place it in the center of a 5-inch square of aluminum foil. Fold the sides of the foil over to form a small parcel, then flatten into a disk 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Set a gas burner to medium-low or an electric burner to medium-high. Using tongs, place the sealed parcel directly on the heat source. Toast until the paste begins to smoke and release a toasted-shrimp smell, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. With the tongs, turn the parcel over and toast for another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Let cool for a minute. Carefully unwrap the foil; the edges of the disk should be black-brown, and the center should be golden with some black-brown patches. Set aside.
• Remove the brown bottom and green top of the lemongrass stalk, leaving a pale 5-inch piece. Discard 2 of the outer layers, then cut crosswise into 1/4 -inch slices. Place in the bowl of a food processor. Add the shallots, chilies, candlenuts, ginger and toasted shrimp paste. Purée to a smooth paste, about 1 minute. (If it sticks to the sides, add up to 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon at a time, periodically turning off the processor and scraping down the sides of the bowl.) Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a 3-quart saucepan on medium-high, then lower to medium. Add the paste and sauté, stirring to prevent scorching, until the paste begins to separate from the oil, about 5 minutes. Add the long beans and stir to coat. Add 1/3 cup water and stir. Bring to a lively simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans just begin to lose their rawness and yield to the prick of a fork, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove the lid, increase the heat and return to a lively simmer. After 2 minutes, add the sugar and soy sauce and stir to combine. Season with salt to taste. Continue simmering until no sauce remains and the beans are sautéing in oil, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a serving dish and let rest for at least 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the walnuts on a baking pan. Toast until fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer nuts to a plate to cool.
• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the long beans, and cook until they are just tender and bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the beans in a colander, and pat them dry with a clean towel. Transfer to a large bowl, and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the walnuts, fennel seeds, and cumin seeds, and cook, stirring continuously, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, pour mixture over the reserved beans, and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.

Steps:

• Place beans into a microwave-safe casserole dish with enough water to cover the bottom. Microwave on high power until almost tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and refresh under cold running water to keep the nice green color.
• Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add almonds and cook until just starting to turn golden, about 5 minutes, watching closely so as to not burn. Take pan off of heat and add butter to melt. Return to heat and add garlic. Mix in green beans, season with salt and pepper, and continue to stir until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.

Steps:

• First cook the soba noodles. Bring 3 or 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add salt to taste. Add the noodles gradually, so that the water remains at a boil, and stir once with a long-handled spoon or pasta fork so that they don't stick together. Wait for the water to come back up to a rolling boil - it will bubble up, so don't fill the pot all the way - and add 1 cup of cold water. Allow the water to come back to a rolling boil, and add another cup of cold water. Allow the water to come to a boil one more time, and add a third cup of water. When the water comes to a boil again, the noodles should be cooked through. Drain and toss with the sesame oil in a bowl and set aside.
• Mix together the stock, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl. Mix the minced chiles, garlic and ginger in another bowl. Place all of the ingredients within reach of your wok.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Meanwhile beat 1 of the eggs in a bowl and add salt to taste. Swirl 1 teaspoon of the oil into the wok and add the egg, using a rubber spatula to scrape out every last bit. Tilt the wok to spread the egg into a pancake and cook until set, 30 seconds to a minute. Using a metal spatula, flip over and cook for about 5 seconds, then transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 2-inch long by 1/4-inch wide slices. Repeat with the other egg.
• Add the remaining oil to the wok, swirl the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and chile and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the long beans and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until they collapse a little in the wok. Add the noodles, the stock mixture, and salt to taste, turn the heat down to medium and stir-fry for about a minute, until the liquid has evaporated. Sprinkle with pepper, add the eggs and cilantro, stir-fry to heat through, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare an ice-water bath. Blanch beans in a pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beans to ice bath until cool, then drain and pat dry.
• Make bundles by wrapping six or seven beans around your first three fingers. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cook just until heated through, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Place green beans in a steamer basket; place in a large saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender., Meanwhile, in a large skillet saute shallot in butter until tender. Add the garlic, sugar, lemon juice, salt, parsley and pepper; cook 2 minutes longer. Stir in beans and tomatoes; heat through. Sprinkle with basil.
