Stir Fry Long Beans

This quick and easy stir fry recipe requires only basic ingredients. I add chopped garlic and ginger to the long beans and stir fry on high heat briefly, resulting in a crunchy and tasty side dish. I usually replace the chopped ginger with “Samsui Ginger Sauce”, which is readily available in supermarkets like NTUC and Cold Storage here in Singapore. This tasty ginger paste is served with steamed chicken and lettuce at the Soup Restaurant and is very popular among the diners. Adding this ginger paste brings a whole new level of flavour to this simple stir fry long beans dish. I do recommend that you try it.

You can also add red chillies, sesame oil, pounded dried shrimps or soy bean paste to enhance the flavour of this dish.
