- Learn how to make Trini Fry Bodi
Long green beans are also known as bora, long padded cow peas, asparagus bean, snake bean or Chinese long bean, but in Trinidad we proudly call it bodi (pronounced bo-dee).
This recipe for “Fry Bodi” is actually long green beans stir fried with tomatoes, onions and garlic. Cooking bodi past the steaming point brings out the intense flavor of the green bean. It’s juicy, tender, yet crunchy. The onion which somehow gets caramelized in the process and the tomato add a burst of flavor and both lend a natural sweetness to the dish. Sometimes salted fish or potatoes can also be added to this recipe for variety.
It always amazes me that in our Caribbean food culture we use the simplest ingredients to create the most delightful vegetarian dishes that even kids enjoy. Another favorite in my house with adults and kids alike, I prepare “fry bodi” for a weekend breakfast and serve it with roti or fried bake. Sometimes I serve it as a veggie side to curried or stewed dishes.
I always have to make a special trip to the Asian supermarket in Brooklyn or to Liberty Ave, Queens for these long green beans, but it is definitely worth the trek. I also use these long green beans in curries, fried rice or stir-fries(including chow mein).

WITH LOVE ❤️AND BEST DISHES 🍽,
RIA B.
Excellent preparation and presentation of this dish, ingredients were easily acquired and available in my location here in South Carolina.
Ria ...thanks again, this is the third time I'm thinking about a dish and you pop up on my page. You're da best.
I grow these in my garden here in Texas then give them away; can’t wait to try this dish.
Great cooking, i look so delicious 👍👍👍
Ria, you are the "Martha Stewart" of Trini cuisine. ❤
Thank you.😀😘
Harvested our first ever Asparagus beans...long noodle beans. Made your recipe and they are AMAZING!! My husband said these are his new favorite beans and recipe. Thanks 👍❤😊
Is Bodi & String Beans The Same??
@@Toni-mc8nd they are different. Bodi are long beans. We grow 3 varieties. You can google Green Long Bean, Chinese Red Noodle Bean, Asparagus Bean aka yard long bean. They are usually stir fried or prepared differently than regular green bean varieties. 😊
Tried this today, it was absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for your recipe, you have earned yourself a new subscriber....I wanna try all your recipes . So excited!
Always want to try those beans, now I know how to prepare them I will purchase some on my next grocery run.
Thanks for sharing Ria👍🏽❤️😋
Ria, I'm still watching your awesome videos and I can't seem to get enough - Trini proud! 🇹🇹👍🏽
So addicted to your videos, this is such a simple, and delicious recipe, thanks for sharing ❤️🍴
Growing up my mom would have us snap the bodie by hand. Enjoyed doing it. Reminds me if my mom's cooking.
I love using bodi in my curry goat,and bodi &saltfish goes well together also👍🏽❤️🇹🇹
We made this the other day.
Absolutely delicious!
So simple and quick, too, and so much flavour.
You can use other beans, which work just as well, if you can't find Bodi.
It works well with French Beans and String Beans 👍
Yes, I agree. I do the same. Thanks for your comment.

Nicole Ramcharitar You could put saltfish on a fried shoe and it would taste delicious! I love saltfish on, and in, everything, especially fried saltfish 😋😋😋

Hi Ria love your recipes😬can you do a chicken version
Lovely recipe Ria, I'll be going to liberty Ave this weekend. Seeing all that hot pepper is triggering my taste buds. Bodi is such an incredible cooking ingredient. I was told that that specific store carries frozen chatagne.
Jamie Jamie thanks for letting me know about the chaitaigne! Sounds like a live safe saver! Enjoy!
Nice food
I’ve been growing these for a few years, thanks for the recipe; I really needed to try something new!

What can I substitute for the long beans? Just regular green beans or would it not taste as good?
TeacherTeacher Regular greens beans will work but won’t be the same. Sorry I thought I responded to this, somehow the response didn’t work.
CookingWithRia Okay, thanks 🙂
