Step 1: Cook the Green Beans Clean and cook the green beans in boiling, salted water for 15-18 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain.
Step 2: Prepare the Dressing Clean the chili pepper, remove the seeds, and finely chop. Remove the soft center from the fibrous cover of the lemongrass and chop it. Sauté with chili in hot oil for 1 minute. Add coconut milk, season with salt and 0.5 tsp curry powder. Simmer for 1 minute. Season with lemon juice and optionally more curry.
