Ingredients
- 300 g French beans (trimmed)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the French beans by cutting off the stem ends. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel to avoid splattering during cooking.
Step 2
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat up for about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be cautious not to let it burn.
Step 4
Add the French beans to the wok and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, keeping the beans moving to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Sprinkle the salt over the beans and add the water. Cover the wok with a lid and allow the beans to steam for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the lid and stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss to coat the beans evenly.
Step 7
Optional: Add red chili flakes for a bit of heat and mix well.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beans are tender yet crisp.
Step 9
Remove the wok from heat and transfer the stir-fried French beans to a serving platter.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish with steamed rice or your favorite main course.
