When I went to China, I tasted this dish for the first time ever. I loved it. So I came back, and made it at home! It's really easy!

Steps

20 mins

1

Cut the green beans into 1 inch pieces. Now boil the beans in hot water for 6-8 mins, till just about tender. Drain.
2

Meanwhile, chop the bell pepper into strips.
3

In a non-stick pan, heat the oil. Turn the flame to low, and add in the garlic. Gently stir it, and allow it to change its colour. This should take a minute.
4

Now add in the boiled beans, and the red bell pepper. Turn up the heat to medium, and fry these for 2 mins.
5

Add in the soya sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Keep frying.
6

Next, add the brown sugar and the Chinese spice. Stir everything together.
7

If required, add 1-2 tbsp of oil for a more stir-fry effect.
8

Once the beans have a lovely fried taste (instead of boiled), your dish is ready to be served!

TIP 1: Since you are using soya sauce, go light on the salt.

TIP 2: You don't have to boil the beans. Feel free to fry them directly. However, they will probably take longer to cook and you will need more oil.
