Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh green beans
- 300 grams shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the green beans and trim off the ends. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water. Stir until well mixed to create the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 5
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the minced garlic and red chili flakes. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
Step 7
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
Step 8
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour in the stir-fry sauce. Mix everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the shrimp and green beans evenly.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Step 10
Enjoy the Stir Fried Green Beans with Shrimp and Garlic over steamed rice or as a standalone dish.
