I’m a green beans enjoyer too. Snap-frozen green beans have improved in quality quite a bit since I was a kid, but fresh ones in a curry, stew or peanut satay absolutely rock.
I just use a jar of satay marinade as the sauce. Nothing special, I don’t bother to make the sauce myself.
All-veg satay for me is diced onion, caramelized in a spoon of tomato paste, 1 cup of mixed frozen veg (pea, corn, carrot), 1 cup frozen green beans, 1 can drained chickpeas, 1/4 cup red lentils (dried), a jar of satay marinade, half a jar of water, a bit of extra garlic, salt, pepper, and a few tablespoons of cornstarch slurry to thicken it up if it’s too loose, or a few cubes of frozen coconut milk if it’s too dry. 1/3 cup of rough chopped boiled peanuts if I have them.
I have a tray of this in the food dehydrator now, to dehydrate into backpacking meals.
I think there was a whole thread about people discovering their love for foods that their parents cooked shittily when they were kids. I’ll try to find it.
Green beans. My mom always made nasty-ass soggy canned green beans when I was a kid, and so I thought I hated beans for like two decades.
Then one day I decided to try sauteing some with garlic one day as an adult, and oh. My. God. Do I love green beans.
My mom’s canned beans still taste like shit.

Any tips on a good peanut satay recipe?
