Stir Fried Green Beans

Bonjour,

Green beans or French bean is one of my all-time favorite vegetable and I love when they are still crunchy and not overcooked. When I was in Laos, I learned that people out there prefer their vegetables raw rather than cooked like green beans and cabbage. In countries like Laos and Thailand, almost every meals they served include a plate of raw vegetables and herbs on the side.

200g French beans
1 carrot, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
2-3 small chilli, optional

Salt, sugar and pepper to taste

- Heat little oil in a saucepan and fry garlic, shallot and chilli until fragrant.
- Add French beans and carrot and continue to stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
