#wm1 - Chinese style French Beans Stir Fry is amazingly a very satisfying comfort dish. This simple, quick to prepare and healthy dish is popularly found in many Chinese restaurants. It goes absolutely well as an accompaniment with either Chinese fried rice or noodles.

Light on the tummy, it is extremely easy to whip up. Minimum of spices goes into preparing it, yet there is no compromise in the taste and flavour. Few toasted sesame seeds, sprinkled on it gives a nice crunch and flavour to this dish. For a non-veg. version, prawns and chicken may be added. So a perfect Chinese style weekend lunch / dinner.
